چکیده

For teachers of medical ethics and law, teaching junior doctors is particularly interesting for a number of reasons. First, it reveals starkly the variability in ethical knowledge among doctors. One junior doctor may see no ethical or legal issue in a presented case while another will immediately identify three or four such problems. Second, once the issues are recognised, most junior doctors are in our experience all too happy to discuss, sometimes passionately, instances of ethical and even legal violations from their own experiences. Ethics and law, which may have seemed a dry and irrelevant subject to them at medical school, can be suddenly transformed into a practical discipline that has a direct clinical impact on their professional lives. Third, such discussions highlight the potential disjunction between what is taught to undergraduates and graduates about ethics and law and what happens in ‘real’ life, prompting reflection on how to improve this teaching to make it as useful and relevant as possible.
