  • Experiential Learning

Background:

  • Teaching healthcare ethics at the doctoral level is challenging.
  • Medical students receive ethics training, but ethicists rarely study medicine.
  • A gap exists in specialized medical training for healthcare ethics graduate students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the Medicine for Ethicists (MfE) course.
  • To evaluate student experiences with the experiential component of MfE.
  • To explore the implications of MfE for doctoral education in healthcare ethics.

Main Methods:

  • A qualitative study involving semi-structured, open-ended interviews with eight former MfE students.
  • Analysis of interview themes related to course elements, PhD learning, and career impact.
  • Application of John Dewey's educational philosophy and David Kolb's experiential learning theory.

Main Results:

  • Identified key themes from student experiences in the MfE experiential component.
  • Found that the course positively influenced students' understanding of medicine in ethical contexts.
  • Highlighted connections between the MfE course and broader doctoral student development.

Conclusions:

  • The Medicine for Ethicists course effectively integrates medical knowledge with ethics training.
  • Experiential learning in MfE enhances doctoral students' preparedness for interdisciplinary roles.
  • The MfE model offers valuable insights for curriculum development in specialized graduate health ethics programs.
