Abstract

The article examines the issue of teaching medical ethics in leading Chinese universities in the training of medical professionals and found that medical ethics courses for physicians are an innovation for Chinese medical high schools. Due to different cultural traditions, researchers of Chinese medical ethics hold conflicting views on the scientific importance and practical necessity of medical ethics and bioethics. The study found that medical ethics education in China has gradually adapted the experience of leading countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom in teaching ethics. China is now in the process of discussing how to develop its own traditional ethics in the context of globalization. It is established that in the program of masters in medicine the formation of ethical knowledge is a mandatory subject. The teaching of medical ethics takes place not only while studying in Chinese universities, but is a long-term lifelong process in which the student summarizes the results of their efforts, combining moral reflection, learning and leadership. The article analyzes the methods and content of teaching medical ethics, which include relevant cultural, social and personal development, and the education of masters in medicine at Chinese universities.Teaching ethics in medical universities is a relatively new area of medical education in China, ethics curricula have different levels of development.
