Background:

Traditional medical ethics education occurs in classrooms or specific sessions like ethics grand rounds.
Integrating ethics into clinical settings presents unique pedagogical challenges.
There is a need for more practical, case-based ethics training within the daily workflow of healthcare professionals.

Observation:

The authors, comprising an ethicist and an internist, developed a method to incorporate ethics discussions into routine attending rounds.
This approach leverages real patient cases encountered during clinical practice to illustrate ethical principles.
Three distinct cases were utilized to demonstrate the practical application of this integrated teaching model.

Findings:

The integration of ethics teaching into attending rounds provides a dynamic and relevant learning environment.
