Ethics is a necessary complement in producing physicians with the essential humanistic skills.
The science of moral reasoning is founded on basic principles and assumptions about which there is wide consensus. It is a teachable subject with a discrete curriculum and meaningful criteria for evaluation. With this goal in mind, MCG introduces this four-year longitudinal Ethics curriculum. The preparers of this syllabus would like to express their deep appreciation to the many people who had the foresight and courage to propose this project and to support and nurture it in its earliest developmental phase and to give the curriculum committee a virtual free hand in the process. Without such patient, enthusiastic support, advice and continued commitment, this process could not have been done.
