Description
Summary:Nowadays the necessity of dedicating time to curricular education in bioethics in medical schools is undeniable. Curricula that opens for Bioethics teaching in medical schools should impregnate the whole technical education and the development of skills by students, going thus beyond theoretical aspects. A portfolio system applied to bioethics is a simple, useful methodology both for teaching and for evaluating students, and makes possible to discuss ethical questions students face in their daily lives. For this reason, it may be applied during the entire medical education program. By means of examples collected using the portfolio in a project with 64 students of 8 Brazilian medical schools, it was possible to see how the students become aware of ethical questions and begin to study and reflect about them, building this way their own knowledge.
