A course for first year medical students, Ethics provides an introduction to the basic concepts and language of medical ethics and to topics that pertain to the practice of all physicians. It also offers students an opportunity to begin developing clinical skills in the application of medical ethics to clinical cases. Classes are lecture, taught by Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy faculty, and small groups, led by physician and non-physician faculty.
Faculty members facilitate small group discussion on clinical cases.
Small groups generally have 10 or fewer students. Training sessions for small group leaders are held each fall. Copyright 1999 Baylor College Of Medicine - Office of Curriculum. All Rights Reserved.
