Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Bioethics
  • Physician Training

Background:

  • Medical ethics education is crucial for clinical trainees.
  • Tailoring educational content to trainee experience enhances relevance and engagement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an experiential educational program for physicians.
  • To assess the effectiveness of a case-based didactic approach in medical ethics training.

Main Methods:

  • A case-based didactic program was implemented at an academic medical center.
  • Senior internal medicine residents (n=40) participated, sharing real-life ethics cases.
  • A survey based on the Students' Evaluation of Educational Quality (SEEQ) was used for evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Key ethical issues discussed included surrogate decision-making, treatment refusal, capacity/informed consent, and medical futility.
  • The program received high SEEQ scores (mean 4.5/5) across learning value, organization, interaction, coverage, and assignments.
  • Residents overwhelmingly found the course useful and effective.

Conclusions:

  • An experiential, case-based didactic program effectively engages adult learners in medical ethics.
  • This educational initiative provided a comprehensive and clinically relevant learning experience for physicians.
