Ethics teaching at The Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine began when the medical school accepted its first students in 1967. The ethics program co-evolved with the school and the Department of Humanities without guidelines or models, since neither medical ethics nor medical humanities had yet been invented as fields of study. The focus of the article is on two key differences between the Penn State ethics program and most other such programs: the teaching of medical ethics within the context of other issues of value and meaning in medicine, and the fact that the humanities faculty is involved in the activities and structures of the medical center of which the medical school is a part. The authors close with a description of successful factors in their program that they maintain could apply to other programs.
宾夕法尼亚州立大学医学院的伦理学教学始于1967年该校招收首批学生之时。由于当时医学伦理学和医学人文学科尚未作为研究领域出现，伦理学项目是与学校及人文系共同发展起来的，没有相关指导方针或模式。本文重点关注宾夕法尼亚州立大学伦理学项目与大多数其他此类项目的两个关键差异：在医学中其他价值和意义问题的背景下进行医学伦理学教学，以及人文学院参与医学院所属医学中心的活动和架构。作者最后描述了他们项目中的成功因素，并认为这些因素可应用于其他项目。
