The Last King of Scotland : using film to explore our understanding of professionalism

[摘要] ETHICS EDUCATION AND FILMS The scope of ethics education guidelines has expanded over the years. These are based on the requirement that learners at all levels receive preparatory education for commitment to professionalism in patient care.1 Medical educators agree that teaching medical ethics can affect the professional development of future physicians. The vexing question is, ‘What are the best teaching and learning practices for professionalism and ethics?’ The authors of the Romanell Report on ethics education state that there is no single best pedagogical approach for teaching professionalism and suggest that teaching methods need to be flexible and varied.2 To simulate reality, the learning experience must be natural, multisensory, and one in which the learners can see themselves playing a role.3 Watching films allows us to make the transition between abstract ideas and concrete experience; it also opens the door for discussion on these topics.
