Although medical ethics has become a part of the curriculum of almost every medical school, medical students' perceptions of the value of medical ethics have not been documented. This paper reports the evaluations given by 137 preclinical and 216 clinical medical students to different levels of medical ethics teaching at the College of Human Medicine and the College of Osteopathic Medicine of Michigan State University. The results indicate (1) that students' satisfaction with medical ethics teaching is directly linked to how much they receive, (2) that students overwhelmingly prefer the input of both ethicists and doctors to teaching by either alone, and (3) that a preclinical medical ethics course followed by explicit medical ethics teaching in clinical training is a promising model for achieving an adequate level of medical ethics teaching within medical education.
尽管医学伦理学已成为几乎每所医学院校课程的一部分，但医学生对医学伦理学价值的认知尚未有文献记载。本文报告了137名临床前医学生和216名临床医学生对密歇根州立大学人类医学院和骨科医学院不同层次医学伦理学教学的评价。结果表明：（1）学生对医学伦理学教学的满意度与他们接受的教学量直接相关；（2）学生绝大多数更喜欢伦理学家和医生共同授课，而非单独由一方授课；（3）临床前开设医学伦理学课程，随后在临床培训中进行明确的医学伦理学教学，是在医学教育中实现足够水平医学伦理学教学的一个有前景的模式。
