Teaching Professional Ethics in Undergraduate Medical Education:An Islamic Perspective.
J Islamic Int Med Coll Jan ;10(3):190-3.

Medical ethics refers to the value system practiced by the medical professionals in deciding good or bad behaviors. Whereas in the usual sense of the word, it derives its basis from tradition, client satisfaction, cultural norms and other factors, however, in case of Islamic ethics it gets basis from the divine revelations conveyed by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Undergraduate medical students need to be taught ethics in order to enable them to solve ethical dilemmas, decide correctly regarding their professional behaviors, and apprise of the ethical stance of a good professional. However in Islamic perspective accountability before Almighty Allah and achieving eternal salvation (maghfirat) is the ultimate objective. Ethics teaching may be integrated with the rest of the curricular content using multiple strategies. The One Minute Preceptors (OMPs) and Critical Incident Meetings may be used as effective strategies for ethics teaching. Assessment tools with proven educational attributes are not available to assess ethics. However multisource assessment and objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE) may be used for the purpose.
