Incorporating ethics education in curriculum of medical technology students and highlighting the importance of teaching the subject to this particular population in this part of world are our aims. At SIUT we have a school with name of "Zain ul Abidin" school of Biomedical Technology, which is supposed to award B.S. degree in 5 sub-specialties that is hemodialysis, radiology, laboratory sciences, operation theater technology and intensive care technology. This school is affiliated by Karachi University. The students entering in school have done fellow in science (F.Sc.)with pre-medical group, thus have background knowledge of biology, physics, chemistry, languages, religion and Pakistan studies. Here for B.S. included in their curriculum are the subjects of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, pharmacology, pathology, Islamiat and English for all and then related sub-specialty topics to each group for example student in hemodialysis group more exposed to nephrology topics etc. I planned to add ethics with subjects, which are common to all specialties and designed curriculum. Curriculum was approved (after minor changes), from Karachi University and I started teaching ethics to these students. This paper highlights methods and tools of teaching and evaluation and results observed. This will be the first examination in bioethics from medical technologists, at university level in the history of country. This is a great achievement in country to start teaching bioethics to medical technologists. Karachi University has implemented the same curriculum to other medical technology schools affiliated with University.
我们的目标是将伦理教育纳入医学技术专业学生的课程体系，并强调在世界这一地区向这一特定人群教授该学科的重要性。在锡亚尔科特国际大学教学医院（SIUT），我们有一所名为“扎因·乌尔·阿比丁”的生物医学技术学院，该学院将在血液透析、放射学、实验室科学、手术室技术和重症监护技术这5个亚专业授予理学学士学位。该学院隶属于卡拉奇大学。进入该学院的学生已完成理科预科（F.Sc.）医学预科课程，因此具备生物学、物理学、化学、语言、宗教和巴基斯坦研究方面的背景知识。在这里，他们的理学学士课程包括解剖学、生理学、生物化学、微生物学、药理学、病理学、伊斯兰教和英语等所有学生的共同课程，然后是针对每个专业组的相关亚专业主题，例如血液透析组的学生更多地接触肾病学主题等。我计划在所有专业的共同课程中加入伦理学，并设计课程体系。该课程体系（经 minor changes 修改后）获得了卡拉奇大学的批准，我开始向这些学生教授伦理学。本文重点介绍了教学和评估的方法与工具以及所观察到的结果。这将是该国历史上大学层面首次对医学技术人员进行生物伦理学考试。在该国开始向医学技术人员教授生物伦理学是一项重大成就。卡拉奇大学已将相同的课程体系应用于其附属的其他医学技术学校。
