Abstract
"Medical ethics teaching in USM consists of both classbased and non-class based teaching. USM uses an acronym of MERCI as the medical ethics thinking framework. MERCI stands for M (patients’ Medical problems), E for Empathy, R for patients’ Right for information and Respect, C for effective Communications, and I for the Insight into the illness. Medical doctors appreciate a complete understanding of each patient including, social and cultural considerations. The thinking framework is a guide for students to think ethically in all activities. In phase I, there is an introductory lecture which later will be applied in practical activities in the hospital and community. In Phase II, there will be more detailed class based teaching on ethical coverage which later will be applied during “Problem Based Learning” (PBL)."
