Abstract
|
|
|
Since 1950s Seoul National University College of Medicine (SNUMC) has conducted medical humanities education to medical students including medical history and behavioral sciences. Recently, SNUMC has developed an integrated
course, "Patient/Doctor/Society," which covers comprehensive topics interrelated among society, medicine, and doctoring. As a part of Patient/Doctor/Society I, the Medical Ethics I course aims at educating first-year medical students with case-based learning and small group discussion. Three experienced professors in different clinical specialties developed cases derived from their clinical experiences for Medical Ethics I course. Divided into small groups consisting of 7-8 students, all students were required to participate in on- and off-line discussions on the cases, and to make presentations on assigned cases. Feedback survey on the course showed that students appraised this course
helpful to prepare medical students to recognize moral dimension of clinical medicine. Some of the students, however, were not completely satisfied with the methods; they could hardly find sufficient time for small group discussion in the
midst of the compact curriculum. On reflection of the first running year experience of the course Medical Ethics I, the authors think that more educational resources need to be allocated to the course such as class hours, teaching staff and credits. As the SNUMC runs the course Medical Ethics I, II, III every year, teaching staff need to utilize diverse and rich cases and methods as reflected on the feedback of the students.
