Optometry students encounter unique ethical dilemmas. This study examines challenges in defining professional ethics and designing optometry ethics courses, drawing parallels with medical education approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Optometry
  • Medical Education
  • Professional Ethics

Background:

  • Optometrists regularly face ethical dilemmas, with students experiencing unique challenges.
  • Increased scope of practice, societal demands for accountability, and interprofessional conflicts heighten the need for ethics education.
  • These factors have prompted the expansion of professional ethics courses in optometry programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the complexities of defining professional ethics in optometry.
  • To analyze the challenges associated with designing effective ethics courses for optometry students.
  • To explore curricular issues relevant to optometric ethics education.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing research, particularly from medical education.
Keywords:
Bioethics and Professional Ethics

  • Analysis of curricular components including objectives, content, and teaching strategies.
  • Examination of student assessment and resource implications for ethics courses.

    • Main Results:

    • Defining professional ethics and designing relevant courses present significant difficulties.
    • Curricular elements such as objectives, instructors, content, and evaluation require careful consideration.
    • The learning process for approaching ethical dilemmas in optometry can mirror that in medicine.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective optometric ethics education requires addressing inherent definitional and curricular challenges.
    • Adapting successful pedagogical approaches from medical ethics education is a viable strategy.
    • Developing robust ethics training is crucial for preparing competent and accountable optometrists.
