AB - Medical ethics education aims not only to cultivate ethically aware physicians but also to foster publictrust in healthcare professionals (HP) and healthcare systems by promoting ethical conduct andprofessional attitudes among HP. With the shift from medicine-centered to patient-centered care,and in the interest of ensuring patient safety, the World Health Organization (WHO)’s Frameworkfor Action on Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice (IPECP) highlights the needfor collaborative, patient-centered education for all HP. This article argues that medical ethicseducation must be expanded to encompass professional identity formation (PIF) and be integratedthroughout undergraduate and postgraduate education and training. Furthermore, PIF educationshould be provided not only to doctors, nurses, and dentists but to all HP involved in patient care.
This broader approach supports high-quality care within systems of interprofessional collaboration(IPC). To achieve this, the ethics educator training program currently offered by the Korean Societyfor Medical Ethics should be continued and expanded to include all HP.
