Bioethics and innovation in health: teaching in graduate medical education
Abstract
Discussions on the teaching of ethics and bioethics in medical schools have mainly focused on the individual
in training, with attention differing from that observed in medical and multiprofessional residencies, where
the topic is yet to reach the level of regular scientific meetings, as occurs with other aspects of professional
training. However, within the curricular structures of health-related programs at graduate level, bioethics
teaching has been present for decades. Considering these different contexts, this article aims to report an
experience of teaching ethics and bioethics within the health sciences curriculum of graduate programs,
directed at professionals involved in the development of dissertations and theses. Graduate-level teaching
seeks to bring together experiences using digital tools and pedagogical strategies that promote reflective
teaching-learning processes. In this context, the need to integrate science, bioethics, and humanization is
emphasized, fostering critical training in the face of contemporary challenges related to innovation in health.
