Abstract

Abstract This article analyzes the importance dentistry course coordinators attribute to bioethics teaching and their opinion on the expected graduate profile. An exploratory, descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 130 coordinators of Brazilian dentistry courses. Data underwent descriptive analysis and Bardin’s content analysis. Most participants attribute importance to bioethics teaching in different situations and 23.8% considered a professional with an ethical and humanized attitude, who is reflective and technically competent as a suitable profile. Dentistry courses are increasingly including bioethics in their curricula, and although most coordinators consider it important, not all understand its principles.
