Abstrakt

Medical education in the United States has incorporated the teaching of biomedical ethics into its efforts to promote "professionalism" as an area of competence. I outline the reasons for the popularity of this approach and show that it is a promising movement that has the possibility for a salutary renewal of the vocation of the physician. I also explore some of the pitfalls of this approach such as the trivialization of the concept of professionalism. Nevertheless, this approach may provide a foundation for fruitful dialogue with other approaches to teaching bioethics to physicians-in-training.
