  • Proposal for a dual approach to ethics education: clinical exposure and formal coursework.

    • Main Results:

    • Bioengineers need more than technical knowledge; an understanding of medical education and practice is essential.
    • Medical ethics is fundamental to decision-making in all professional bioengineering endeavors.
    • Key ethical topics include physician rights/duties, death determination, team ethics, patient privacy, informed consent, research ethics, and malpractice.

    Conclusions:

    • An effective bioengineering ethics curriculum should combine informal clinical exposure with formal classroom learning.
    • Writing assignments in ethics courses are vital for fostering personal professional ethos.
    • Integrating medical ethics education is crucial for responsible bioengineering practice.
