Ethics Education for Canadian Medical Students.

Baylis, Francoise; Downie, Jocelyn

Academic Medicine, v66 n7 p413-16 Jul 1991

A survey of all 16 Canadian medical schools found that 15 provided some ethics education. Time allocated ranged from 10-45 hours per degree, with no discernible pattern of distribution across years. Most teaching was case based and issue oriented, most instructors were physicians, and most schools used a pass-fail standard. (Author/MSE)
