Publication - Internet offered Course Syllabus

George Th. Diamandopoulos, M.D., offers a course titled, “DIALECTIC SEMINARS ON OBJECTIVE FACTS AND SUBJECTIVE IDEAS AND VALUES THAT RELATE TO MEDICINE”, via the Internet in its website, http://www.medicine-facts-ideas-values.org/

Publication - Course Abstract

Since the Medical profession confronts daily "Life-and-Death" concerns and decisions affecting Humans, the Schooling of Future Physicians demands that they are thoroughly trained in the Science of Medicine, i.e., in the objective facts of the latest basic biomedical and clinical medical knowledge, and are suitably educated in the Art of Medicine, i.e., in the subjective ideas and the ethical and esthetic values that relate to Medicine.

This Course, offered via the Internet, attempts to respond imaginatively to the Needs of Future Physicians, by offering teaching sessions in the dialectic (dialogue) rather than in the didactic (instructive) form, by means of which the Students are encouraged to participate actively in small groups, in spirited debates, with their own teachers acting as moderators and also among fellow students, which they might hopefully find to be intellectually stimulating and emotionally rewarding.
