Özet

This paper originates from a panel discussion on the evaluation of the “Ethics Educational Program in Health Sciences” held during the IAEE Conference 2014 Ankara, Turkey. Prior to the panel’s discussion, its participants held consultations aimed at solidifying the concepts of the topic. The qualitative data gathered at these consultations matured through the panel members’ contribution to the IAEE discussion. The outcome of this qualitative study focuses on the examples of two current curricula; one from a PhD in the History of Medicine and Medical Ethics, the other one from an elective course on medical ethics, offered as part of a PhD program on Pharmacy Management and History, and on the major challenges the trainees face during their education, their expectations and whether the program is satisfactory, those aspects of the programs which are prone to improvement and their overall evaluations of the programs.
