Ethics teaching in medicine, nursing and other health care professions does not only consist of knowledge transfer that can be easily implemented digitally. Rather, it focuses on specific ethical competences (such as arguing and articulating one's own moral position) and attitudes (such as empathic patient orientation, critical self-reflection, and ambiguity tolerance), for whose development interactive formats are superior. Competence-oriented ethical learning goals are important for the development of professionalism, but require time, space and personal exchange. Due to contact restrictions and the widespread cancellation of (face-to-face) courses in the wake of the corona pandemic, ethics teaching was forced to keep its distance in many places, which posed great challenges. This article is based on an exchange of experiences from members of the working group of the Academy for Ethics in Medicine about ethics teaching in times of physical distancing. Recommendations will be given on how ethical competence can be successfully taught in the context of exclusively digital teaching. Starting with the question what is at risk of being lost in digital teaching, the potentials of digital formats are explored and illustrated with concrete practical examples. Beyond ethics teaching, the article also aims to provide ideas and suggestions for other specialist and cross-sectional areas where interactive formats are central.
医学、护理和其他医疗保健专业的伦理学教学不仅包括可以通过数字技术轻松实现的知识传授，还侧重于特定的伦理能力（如论证和表达自己的道德立场）和态度（如富有同理心的患者导向、批判性自我反思和对模糊性的容忍），而这些都需要互动式的教学方法来实现。以能力为导向的伦理学习目标对于专业精神的发展非常重要，但需要时间、空间和个人交流。由于疫情期间的接触限制和（面对面）课程的广泛取消，许多地方的伦理学教学被迫采取远程教学的方式，这带来了巨大的挑战。本文基于医学伦理学会工作组成员关于远程教学的经验交流，探讨了在完全数字化教学背景下如何成功教授伦理能力，并给出了相关建议。文章首先探讨了数字教学中可能会失去什么，然后探讨了数字格式的潜力，并通过具体的实际例子进行了说明。除了伦理学教学之外，本文还旨在为其他需要互动式教学方法的专业和跨领域提供思路和建议。
