Ethics in Undergraduate Medical Education

Meet the ethical challenges facing health care providers today

Dalhousie Medical School's undergraduate medical education (UGME) program is an integrated, case-based learning curriculum. Ethics is tightly integrated into the Professional Competencies unit in the pre-clinical years and in the PIER (Position – Integration – Evaluation – Research/Review) program during clerkship.
