  • McKneally MF, Singer PA. Bioethics for clinicians: 25. Teaching bioethics in the clinical setting. CMAJ. 2001 Apr 17; 164(8): 1163–1167.
    • In residency training, bioethics ideally is taught in the clinical setting or in case conferences rather than via theory-based lectures. Discuss cases in an interactive manner, emphasizing the medical factors (diagnosis, treatment, prognosis), preferences (patient, family, clinicians), quality of life (before, during, after), and context (support systems, cost, availability, special circumstances).
  • Hébert PC, Hoffmaster B, Glass KC, Singer PA. Bioethics for clinicians: 7. Truth telling. CMAJ. 1997 Jan 15;156(2):225-8.
    • Telling patients the truth increases compliance, can reduce morbidity, and increase patient satisfaction. The truth may be brutal, but the telling of it should not be.
