Abstract

Medical ethics courses are a standard part of medical school curricula, and educators agree that medical education warrants explicit analysis of bioethical issues. Recently, this concern for instruction in ethical integrity has spread to the research arena, most notably demonstrated by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) 1990 requirement that trainees receiving support from institutional or individual training grants have instruction in ethical scientific conduct. However, little guidance in course design has been provided by the NIH or is available in the literature. This article summarizes the 2-year experience of a multidisciplinary faculty at the Medical College of Pennsylvania developing a course in research ethics for medical and basic science students pursuing graduate science degrees. The article provides a model for discussion among educators confronting curricular design in research ethics.
