Summary
To equip our students for engaging with the ethico-legal reality of medical practice in clinical contexts, the medical education literature supports a course design oriented towards professional ethics in medicine.
This chapter offered some key emphases as a frame for student learning in ethics and law. These focus on the everyday aspects of clinical practice; on a theory-based approach to ethico-legal awareness and analysis; on the formation of professional habits; on the essential linkage of both intentions and consequences; and on the partnership with society upon which the medical profession depends.
Once we clarify the nature of ethics and law in the course, and construct a suitable frame to reinforce this according to the key emphases, the remaining task is to mediate ethico-legal learning within the wider curriculum through a coherent and communicated course scheme that is meaningful within the educational setting of the medical school, and this is the focus of the next chapter.
