In the last forty-odd years, medical ethics has become an increasingly important part of undergraduate medical education. This has been reflected in changes in medical school curricula as well as increased emphasis in standardized testing and accreditation requirements. However, both the scope and aims of ethics education are not well defined and surveys of medical ethics curricula reveal there is significant heterogeneity in the way it is taught to students. Examination of ethics education shows that there is a hidden curriculum that operates alongside the explicit curriculum and influences how students perceive and value the subject. This is in addition to the more general hidden curriculum, which has been identified as a cause of moral regression in medical students. This paper attempts to illuminate the hidden curriculum of ethics education and propose ways in which its negative impacts may be mitigated. / Urban Bioethics
