ACTIVITY GUIDE
TASK #3
My Perceptions on Philosophy & the Health Professions
Introduction
After more than a month studying philosophy, write a Reflection Paper on the Relevance of Philosophy in the Practice of the Health Professions. How does a person’s philosophy in life impact their health practices and their health seeking behaviors? And how does a health professional’s philosophy impact on their clinical decisions, and relationship with their patients, colleagues and other people in their work.
Task Options: You may choose from the following, or come up with your own approach
1. Try to think of a CONFLICT* situation in your private or hospital practice which, after some analysis seem to be a matter of differences in philosophies in life.
a. Who were the protagonists in the conflict?
b. Describe the nature of the conflict.
c. Try to dentify the conflicting philosophies of the persons involved.
d. Can you think of a resolution to the conflict or a way to prevent further conflict?
*Conflict need not be a big or dramatic thing. It can be simply a different manner of thinking about things: Life, Health, Lifestyle, Medicines, Wellness. Aging, Bioethics…Or different manner of dealings with Doctors, Nurses, Patients, and Family…
2. Read and React to a News or Research ARTICLE in the light of the learnings you have achieved in the first two modules. (There are several articles contained in the Folder labelled Assorted Reading Materials)
3. You can discuss your reflections and insights on Some of the REFLECTION POINTS found in the Study Guides or the Powerpoint presentations.
It would be ideal if you can give concrete examples from your experiences. In your analysis try to reach the level of the metaphysical, epistemological or axiological aspects of the conflict situation. Please follow the usual standards in academic writing, and please cite your sources.
Be ready to present your thoughts with the others during the Midterm Activity: a Class Discussion on this matter on the date indicated in the Course Guide. The mechanics of the Discussion will be announced later.
