Area of Science:

Medical Education
Bioethics
Clinical Practice

Background:

Teaching bioethics to medical students presents unique challenges, as they often focus on clinical problem-solving.
Informed Consent is a cornerstone of Western medical ethics but can be difficult to grasp theoretically.

Purpose of the Study:

To design an educational strategy to enhance medical students' understanding of Informed Consent.
To bridge the gap between theoretical bioethics and practical clinical application.

Main Methods:

Development of a novel educational strategy tailored for medical students.
Implementation and evaluation of the strategy focusing on Informed Consent comprehension.

Main Results:

The educational strategy significantly improved medical students' understanding of Informed Consent.
Students demonstrated enhanced ability to apply theoretical Informed Consent principles in simulated clinical scenarios.

Conclusions:

The designed educational strategy is effective in making Informed Consent more accessible to medical students.
This approach can improve bioethical education in medical schools, preparing future clinicians.
