| 要約: | Final report from a project that aimed to improve the relevance and applicability of health ethics education. Health ethics is a compulsory requirement of medical and allied health curriculums for course accreditation, and its application is particularly sensitive to cultural context. To date, little attention has been paid to the complexities of teaching health ethics in culturally diverse contexts. Current health ethics curriculums in Australian universities are based on western-developed bioethics frameworks. However, there are concerns about the appropriateness of delivering homogenous western-developed health ethics education to students who come from, or will practise in, non-western settings. The project aimed to enhance teaching and learning in health ethics by developing teaching materials addressing cultural diversity. The materials were developed after extensive consultation with health ethics educators, students and early career health practitioners. |
