A Theology and Ethic of Healthcare

Whether you are a caregiver, a seeker, or someone who has walked alongside suffering, this course offers tools for making meaning, holding space, and finding direction in the messy, beautiful work of care.
This course explores how spiritual worldviews, cultural identity, and moral complexity shape how we understand illness, healing, and end-of-life choices. Drawing on diverse theological traditions, students will examine how power, trauma, and social location impact both caregivers and care seekers. Topics include aging, intergenerational trauma, Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), and more. Whether you are a practitioner, chaplain, caregiver, or simply curious, you’ll gain deeper insight into how faith and ethics intersect in real-world healthcare settings—and how to align your values with your actions.
