The relationship between gender and career choice in medicine - an overview
Medicine has traditionally been regarded as a career predominated by males however the trends in the UK show that this is not accurate. From 2020, it is expected that the majority of clinicians will be female. Existing trends, however, show that certain medical and surgical specialities are male or female dominated, in some specialities to the extent that over 80% of clinicians are of the same gender. Some suggested reasons for this imbalance are…
Four Solutions to the Alleged Incompleteness of Virtue Ethics
In “Virtue and Right,” Robert Johnson argues that virtue ethics that accept standards such as Virtuous Agent (A’s x-ing is right in circumstances c iff a fully virtuous agent would x in c) are incomplete, since they cannot account for duties of moral self-improvement. In this paper I offer four solutions to the problem of incompleteness. The first discards Virtuous Agent and counts actions as wrong iff a vicious person would perform them. The sec…
Students’ perception of the learning environment in a distributed medical programme
Shared strengths and weaknesses in the learning environment at UBC sites were evident in areas that were managed by the parent institution, such as the attributes of shared faculty and curriculum. A greater divergence in the perception of the learning environment was found in domains dependent on local arrangements and social factors that are less amenable to central regulation. This study underlines the need for ongoing comparative evaluation of…
Pettit's Non-iteration Constraint
I discuss Philip Pettit's argument that appreciation is not a proper response to value because it fails to satisfy the non-iteration constraint, according to which, where V is a value and R is a response to value, R -ing V must not be distinct from R -ing R -ing V. After motivating the non-iteration constraint and conceding that appreciation fails to satisfy the constraint, I argue that the consequentialist's preferred response to value, promotio…
