Medical students' perceptions of their ethics teaching

Abstract

The teaching of ethics in UK medical schools has recently been reviewed, from the perspective of the teachers themselves. A questionnaire survey of medical undergraduates at King's College London School of Medicine provides useful insight into the students' perception of ethics education, what they consider to be the value of learning ethics and law, and how engaged they feel with the subject.
