ASBH Report on Ethics and Humanities Education in Undergraduate Medical Programs
Many of ASBH's members teach in medical schools' courses in bioethics and humanities. Medical schools must meet the standards for curricula developed by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) which include specific curricular objectives and evaluation criteria keyed to these standards. These LCME curricular standards do not always translate easily into standards for implementing and evaluating effective education in bioethics and humanities.
In response to this challenge, in 2005, the ASBH Board impaneled a Task Force on Ethics and Humanities Education in Undergraduate Medical Programs to provide guidance to medical school bioethics and humanities faculty in adapting and aligning bioethics and humanities curricular goals and evaluation to these LCME curricular standards, and to provide a template for development of objectives and methods of implementation and evaluation of new bioethics and humanities curricular offerings.
ASBH members, Clarence Braddock, MD and Kelly Fryer-Edwards, PhD led the task force with members Catherine Belling, PhD, Michael Green, MD, John Moskop, PhD, and Diane Timberlake MD, MA, in consultation with David Doukas and Art Derse. The document here is the final version reviewed in May 2009.
