AB - Both medical ethics and medical English are being taught in most of the premedical courses in Korea since both subjects are considered to be very important in medical education. We have taught medical ethics using English texts in medical English class of premedical course. Students were given tasks of various tests, reports, and presentations in English and part of the lectures were given in English. We have investigated the effectiveness of this type of teaching medical ethics in English using questionnaire survey to premedical students, medical students, and residents who have completed medical ethics in English class at their premedical periods. The survey questioned mainly in the following three areas; if they could understand medical ethics and it was helpful in making ethical decisions at their resident time although it was taught in English, if the class was helpful for their advanced medical ethics class at their medical course and making ethical decisions at their resident time, and if the English they have learned in the class has helped their study of medicine through the medical school and resident time.
Most of them responded favorably to all the three questions.
In conclusion, teaching medical ethics in medical English class in premedical course appears to be an effective way of teaching both medical ethics and medical English at the same time.
