Abstract
- Summary. Medical ethics play an essential role in the practice of medicine, in the care of individual patients, in the allocation of health care resources, and in the formulation of health care policy. A specific body of knowledge, ‘biomedical ethics’, has developed which applies ethical theory to biomedical practice. This has provided doctors with tools systematically to integrate rational ethical analysis into clinical decision-making. Training in the discipline of biomedical ethics is now required for all doctors in Canada. The goals, content areas, learning objectives, and learning methods considered appropriate for advanced training in this field for medical specialists are provided in this paper. Six topic areas are discussed: introduction to ethical theory, clinical ethics, professional ethics, ethics of human experimentation, ethics of health policy, and independent study. Ways this curriculum could be organized and evaluated are also offered.
