A medical ethics workshop for preceptors did not significantly improve student learning. Further research is needed to explore effective interventions for medical ethics education.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Bioethics
  • Family Medicine

Background:

  • Medical ethics education is crucial for developing physician competency.
  • Family medicine preceptors play a key role in shaping students' ethical understanding.
  • Previous interventions to enhance ethics education require further evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of a medical ethics workshop for preceptors on their students' ethics learning.
  • To identify educational and experiential factors influencing students' ethics learning.

Main Methods:

  • A 3-hour workshop was offered to family physician preceptors.
  • Student performance was evaluated by comparing written responses to clinical vignettes.
  • Scores of students with preceptors who attended the workshop were compared to a control group.

Main Results:

  • No significant difference in ethics learning performance was observed between students whose preceptors attended the workshop and those whose preceptors did not.
  • Analysis of student-reported influences on their learning was also conducted.

Conclusions:

  • The study's single outcome measure and potential volunteer bias limit definitive conclusions.
  • Further research with varied interventions and outcome measures is recommended to improve medical ethics education for students.
