The formal teaching of medical ethics is a recent addition to the curricula of U.S. medical schools. In this paper, the author examines the evolution and goals of teaching medical ethics, the nature of medical ethics, and integrating such teaching into the curriculum. The author concludes that teachers of medical ethics must impart knowledge that can be applied to the problems medical students face. Because moral considerations are as much a part of medical decisions as technical considerations, this teaching is best done in the context of real cases with which the student is involved and in which ethical considerations can be shown to make a critical difference. A brief description of such a teaching program is included.
医学伦理学的正式教学是美国医学院校课程中最近才增加的内容。在本文中，作者审视了医学伦理学教学的演变与目标、医学伦理学的本质，以及将此类教学融入课程的情况。作者得出结论，医学伦理学教师必须传授能够应用于医学生所面临问题的知识。由于道德考量与技术考量一样，都是医疗决策的一部分，因此这种教学最好在学生参与其中且能表明道德考量会产生关键影响的实际案例背景下进行。文中还包含了对这样一个教学项目的简要描述。
