Abstract
Substantial variation exists between schools and countries as regards the role of ethics, law
and professionalism in medical curricula. Greater consistency of approach is needed between
schools and countries to better safeguard standards of professional practice. From an international perspective these subjects are the focus of increasing attention as the nature of
medical practice and regulation changes. This paper offers practical suggestions for raising
the educational profile and integrating ethics, law and professionalism into medical curricula.
Dealing with the subjects effectively during early medical training helps provide an appropriate
grounding for future learning and practice.
