Abstract

Integrating the teaching of medical ethics into medical students' clinical education is challenging, given the competing demands on students' time and the need for teaching to be clinically relevant. This paper describes a model programme for incorporating ethics teaching into the obstetrics and gynaecology clerkship for third-year medical students. The programme is taught by two attending teachers and a medical ethicist with experience teaching in the clinical setting of obstetrics and gynaecology. Objective pretests and posttests showed substantial improvement in students' knowledge, and student feedback has been very positive.
