Medical Ethics & Law (MEL)

Students receive Medical Ethics and Law teaching across MBBS I-V. From the beginning the curriculum introduces basic and applied ethical models and encourages students to engage in discussion and debate, recognising their own values and applying ethical learning and legal understandings to everyday bioethical situations.

As students progress through their training, they will have more opportunities to reflect on the integral nature of ethical decision making to their practice, both as medical students and eventually as doctors. Through the curriculum, students build and evolve the moral values that underpin their behaviour, and will shape their decision making and future practice.

The course takes the form of whole class lectures, online e-videos, small group, case-based independent discussion followed by small group interactive sessions, adaptive learning modules, and small group workshops.
