Statisically significant differences were founded in the general characteristics of gender(t=-2.58, p=.010), major field(F=3.965, p=.009), religion(F=3.492, p=.017), economic status(F=4.601, p=.011). Statistically significant differences were founded in the characteristics related to the subjects' ethical values of ethical values(F=4.817, p=.009), experience on conflict of biomedical ethical issues(F=4.631, p=.011), perception on times and quality of educational programs regarding biomedical issues(F=4.804, p=.009), intention to attend class on biomedical ethics(F=5.736, p=.004).
