Since ethics is an integral part of practice of medicine, its study should parallel that of study of medicine. It should proceed in an orderly fashion from undergraduate into postgraduate study, starting with an understanding of principal moral values governing medical ethics. It should subsequently develop awareness of frequent existence of ethical issues and dilemmas, help develop the capacity for resolution of these issues through ethical reasoning, and acquire understanding of the function of institutional bodies concerned with ethics. Clinical real life situations and case studies should be extensively used as an educational tool. The exact design of the curriculum may vary to reflect the medical curriculum of a particular institution, but common objectives to all systems must be to achieve familiarity with moral values underlying the practice of medicine and with methodology of ethical reasoning. Some form of examination and evaluation of the course should be a standard feature of all teaching programs of medical ethics.
由于伦理学是医学实践不可或缺的一部分，对其研究应与医学研究同步进行。它应从本科到研究生学习按部就班地推进，首先要理解主导医学伦理的主要道德价值观。随后应培养对伦理问题和困境普遍存在的认识，帮助通过伦理推理培养解决这些问题的能力，并了解与伦理相关的机构组织的职能。临床实际生活场景和案例研究应被广泛用作教育工具。课程的确切设计可能因特定机构的医学课程而异，但所有体系的共同目标必须是熟悉医学实践背后的道德价值观以及伦理推理方法。某种形式的课程考试和评估应成为所有医学伦理教学项目的标准特征。
