M2 Medical Ethics

The recognition that ethics is central to medical practice has been part and parcel of the profession since its early Ancient Greek roots.  From the Hippocratic Oath to the concerns of Galen, Paracelsus, John Gregory, and Thomas Percival, historically medical ethics and the humane care of patients were not lost on early generations.  But it is since the 1960s and 70s that a focus on putting ethics and humanities into medical school education began.

 The UAMS College of Medicine’s course in medical ethics has been taught continuously to every medical student since the fall of 1983.  The course strives to provide students with an opportunity to confront squarely both personal and professional values in relationship to medical care and clinical research.

 Information on the current course—including learning objectives, general assignment requirements, course policies, and more—is available in the pdf file linked here.
