While Western medical ethics has ancient roots in the teachings of Hippocrates, its standing in the undergraduate medical curriculum is a distinctly modern development. Today, all of the 127 accredited U.S. medical schools offer formal biomedical ethics instruction, and nearly all offer instruction in the related discipline of health law. This article describes how biomedical ethics and health law are taught at the University of Iowa College of Medicine, one of 12 medical schools that offers separate required courses in both ethics and law. Often ethics and law overlap; often, to act ethically is to act legally. But medical students and practicing physicians also regularly confront dilemmas that pose the question, "It's ethical, but is it legal?" This article discusses the goals, methods, and core themes of teaching issues at the intersection of medicine, ethics, and law, and how the approach to this instruction is designed to offer students a tool kit to begin to deal effectively with these complex issues in professional life.

虽然西方医学伦理在希波克拉底的教义中有古老的根源，但其在本科医学课程中的地位却是一个明显的现代发展。如今，美国127所获得认证的医学院校都提供正式的生物医学伦理教学，几乎所有院校都提供健康法相关学科的教学。本文描述了爱荷华大学医学院如何教授生物医学伦理和健康法，该校是12所同时开设单独的伦理和法律必修课的医学院校之一。伦理和法律常常重叠；通常，合乎伦理的行为就是合法的行为。但医学生和执业医生也经常面临这样的困境，即提出“这是合乎伦理的，但它合法吗？”的问题。本文讨论了在医学、伦理和法律交叉领域教学问题的目标、方法和核心主题，以及这种教学方法如何旨在为学生提供一套工具，以便他们开始在职业生涯中有效应对这些复杂问题。《解剖学记录》（新解剖学）265:5 - 9，2001年。
