Teaching Medical Ethics and Professionalism Based on Critical Thinking and Writing

The main purpose of this paper is to explain the reason for the difficulty in teaching medical ethics and professionalism and to make a proposal for an educational model of improving moral inference in teaching medical ethics in virtue of critical thinking and writing. Above all else, the difficulty in teaching medical ethics and professionalism lies in that its educational purpose, educational procedure and contents are confused. I argue that the improvement of ethical problem-solving competency is the core component. So, I propose that the moral and ethical inference in medical ethics must be based on critical thinking and academic writing. Since many current issues in medical ethics and professionalism are related to traditional moral issues ― such as bioethics, distributive justice, animal experiment, conflict of obligations and self-regulation and so forth ― a proper and suitable teaching of medical ethics and professionalism in medical education should focus on medical subject-related educational methods and should be integrated with ethics, critical thinking and writing.
