The Application of Project-Based Learning in Medical Ethics Education

With the advancement of medical technology and the increasing complexity of ethical issues, traditional teaching methods in medical ethics are no longer sufficient to cultivate students with strong practical and ethical decision-making abilities. This study explores the application of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in medical ethics education. The primary objective is to enhance students' ethical judgment, practical skills, and teamwork abilities through real-life case studies and diverse project activities. The findings indicate that PBL effectively enables students to apply ethical theories to real-world situations, thereby improving their communication and decision-making capabilities. The implementation of PBL has shown significant pedagogical benefits; however, challenges such as weak theoretical foundations and uneven group collaboration remain. This research provides a novel instructional model for teaching medical ethics and contributes to cultivating medical professionals who possess both ethical competence and practical capabilities, thus promoting innovation in medical education reform.
