Case-Based Ethics Education for Medical Students: Discussing Reproductive Health Ethics in a Changing Landscape

was overturned in 2022. Currently, however, there are limited curricula available focused on teaching reproductive health ethics in this environment. METHODS: We designed an active-learning small-group session for medical students as part of their bioethics pre-clerkship curriculum. Students participated in a session to review important ethical dilemmas in the context of authentic cases related to caring for pregnant patients facilitated by interdisciplinary faculty. Following the session, students evaluated the session using a retrospective pre-post survey to collect quantitative and qualitative data. RESULTS: < .0001). They also described the session as engaging and relevant. Thematic analysis of narrative responses showed that students appreciated the opportunity to better understand a physician's responsibility in these challenging situations. CONCLUSIONS: Students valued this novel curriculum and recommended that it be repeated in future years. They also appreciated having a discussion space to consider the ethical dilemmas that clinicians may face in practice related to reproductive health.
