Abstract

All medical professionals since their university studies have had a first approach to medical ethics or bioethics, since in our country from their study plans as part of the mandatory courses they take at least one course related to the topic of bioethics, however, this first approach is not enough to raise awareness among these professionals, which is why this article presents a proposal to incorporate the Medical Ethics course taught by the Colegio de Médicos y Cirujanos de Costa Rica as part of the incorporation process of new members a module on medical bioethics, based on the review of a series of related basic theoretical content, as well as the presentation of practical, everyday and real cases that the medical professional faces in the doctor-patient relationship.
