Medical ethics education

Abstract

Medical ethics education is instruction that endeavors to teach the examination of the role of values in the doctor's relationship with patients, colleagues, and society. It is one front of a broad curricular effort to develop physicians' values, social perspectives, and interpersonal skills for the practice of medicine. The authors define medical ethics education as more clinically centered than human values education and more inclusive of philosophical, social, and legal issues than is interpersonal skills training. The authors review the history of the emergence of medical ethics education over the last 20 years, examine the areas of consensus that have emerged concerning the general objectives and premises for designing medical ethics programs, and describe teaching objectives and methods, course content, and program evaluation used in such programs on both preclinical and clinical levels. The four interrelated requirements for successful institutionalization of medical ethics education programs are defined and discussed, and the paper ends with an overview of the uncertain future of medical ethics education, an accepted but still not fully mature part of physician training in the United States. An extensive reference list accompanies the article.

Em revisão realizada, Miles et al 19 Para o ensino adequado dessas competências, não é possível ministrar aulas em que o aluno recebe passivamente as informações e não é estimulado a refletir sobre os diferentes valores morais em jogo. O que se preconiza é que a discussão bioética permeie todos os momentos possíveis da formação 10 , inserida transversalmente em todas as disciplinas 7 .…”

Ethics in Medical Practice

“…Medical ethics has emerged as a priority within medical institutions and among ethics educators, especially in the past few decades. 2 Despite inclusion of medical ethics curricula and the several helpful reviews on ethics, 2,3,4 many questions still remain about the nature, goals, and outcomes of medical ethics educations and programes. 5 In the era of modern healthcare, physicians are facing complicated and multifaceted ethical dilemmas in their daily practice; the duty to respect informed consent, truth-telling, breach of confidentiality, disclosure of medical errors, rational use of scarce health resources, biomedical research, and organ donation.…”
