Abstract

Summary Although humanistically oriented courses have recently been incorporated into the medical school curriculum, evaluation of these endeavours has received little attention in the literature. The present study investigated the effects of a humanistically oriented course on the ethical thinking of first-year medical students. It was found that the course was successful in increasing students' level of ethical thinking and that initial differences in ethical thinking were related to actual behaviour.
