Medical ethics, medical jurisprudence, and medical economics are recognized as important components of a medical school curriculum. These subjects were introduced through a course given at the University of California, Davis, School of Medicine. Four aspects of the format and content of the course were instrumental to its success. Teaching principles of medical ethics within the context of jurisprudence and economics permitted the students to gain an understanding of the institutions and processes that act as positive and negative constraints on physicians' clinical and professional behavior. The course was offered during the fourth year following required clinical rotations so that all aspects of the course could be based on the clinical experiences of the students. It was presented in a continuing medical education format away from the normal teaching environment of first- and second-year classrooms and third-year clerkships. Finally, the course was designed by a multidisciplinary, multidepartmental planning group that included students.
医学伦理学、法医学和医学经济学被公认为医学院课程的重要组成部分。这些课程是通过加利福尼亚大学戴维斯分校医学院开设的一门课程引入的。该课程的形式和内容的四个方面对其成功起到了重要作用。在法理学和经济学的背景下教授医学伦理学原则，使学生能够了解对医生临床和职业行为起到积极和消极约束作用的制度和过程。该课程在临床实习必修课结束后的第四年开设，以便课程的各个方面都能基于学生的临床经验。它采用继续医学教育的形式，远离一、二年级教室和三年级见习的正常教学环境。最后，该课程由一个包括学生在内的多学科、多部门规划小组设计。
