Navigating the Wards: Teaching Medical Students to Use Their Moral Compasses.
Swensen, Sara L.; Rothstein, Julie A.
Academic Medicine, v71 n6 p591-94 Jun 1996
This paper argues that medical ethics education relies too much on strategies that target ethical thinking and should focus more on students as ethical actors in specific clinical contexts, responding to ethical dilemmas. Traditional approaches may not offer the skills students need to learn norms of ethical behavior. Strategies for encouraging ethical thinking and behavior throughout medical training are offered.
