1 A Report on Instruction in Medical Ethics, Humanities, and Jurisprudence Provided by Texas Medical Schools Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Division of Universities and Health-Related Institutions October
2 Executive Summary Legislative Directive The General Appropriations Act of the 76th Legislature (1999) included the following language on page III-51, section 18 (4): Medical Ethics, Humanities, and Jurisprudence at Medical Schools. All academic health centers with medical schools and that receive a state appropriation are authorized to review the current curriculum content and requirements for medical ethics, humanities, and jurisprudence for medical students at their institution, including current instruction and integration into the basic sciences, clinic clerkships, and elective experiences. The review shall consider current testable material in these areas as might appear on each part of the United States Medical Licensure Examination. Institutions shall report this information to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board by September 1, 2000 in a format prescribed by the board. Background -- Medical Education Medical education provided by Texas eight medical schools -- public and private, allopathic and osteopathic -- is similar to medical education offered nationally. However, medical education in the U.S. is diverse and no two schools construct their curriculum or conduct education and training in exactly the same manner. National accreditation assures the public that all U.S. medical schools require students to complete training within a prescribed period of time, and with education and training in specific areas. Prior to entering medical practice, medical students must pass a three-part national licensing exam, the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE). While medical students may take two of the three parts of the exam during medical school, the third part of the exam may not be taken until at least one year after medical school, when the first year of residency training is completed. Standardized national testing helps to ensure that newly educated physicians have acquired a minimum set of competencies, including understanding complex ethical challenges. Finally, prior to receiving a Texas medical license, a physician must pass a state-required jurisprudence exam. Study Methodology Coordinating Board staff surveyed the eight medical schools (seven public and one independent) in August 2000 to understand how Texas medical schools incorporated medical ethics, humanities, and jurisprudence into their current curricula. A map illustrating the location of Texas medical schools is provided as Appendix A. The survey asked institutional representatives, primarily academic deans, to report the courses and clinical experiences required and available to students in the areas of medical ethics, humanities, and jurisprudence. Humanities courses include offerings such as the study of the history of medicine, medicine and culture, and medical Spanish. A copy of the survey instrument used to assemble data for the study is included as Appendix B. Institutional responses to the survey are included in Appendix C and reflect the medical schools curricula for the academic year. i
3 Findings and Recommendations The following are the principal findings of an analysis of the institutional survey responses: Texas medical schools are well-positioned to offer medical students educational experiences that will ensure that the next generation of physicians is appropriately educated in the areas of medical ethics, humanities, and jurisprudence. Based on the responses to the institutional survey, national accreditation requirements, and high pass rates students on the state s licensing exams, the Coordinating Board staff finds that Texas medical schools require an adequate and appropriate amount of education and training in medical ethics, humanities, and jurisprudence. Education and training in medical ethics, humanities, and jurisprudence have evolved over the past decade to encompass issues related to all aspects of the life cycle. Texas medical school include the study of medical ethics, humanities, and jurisprudence within their current curricula through required course work, clinical rotations, and elective opportunities. Most Texas medical schools require completion of a medical ethics course, usually in the fourth year of study. Many Texas medical schools devote a separate course or a component of a clinical rotation to the study of jurisprudence. The study of medical humanities is most commonly available to Texas medical students within the elective portion of their studies. All Texas medical schools reported that the clinical rotation experiences, required of all third- and fourth-year medical students, contain considerable opportunities for students and faculty to explore together issues which encompass medical ethics, humanities, and jurisprudence. Technological advances bring new and complex ethical and legal issues to the forefront. To deal with this, Texas medical schools continually review, revise, and update educational curricula to incorporate technological advances and the ethical issues they raise. The Coordinating Board staff recommends that Texas medical schools continue to adhere to the rigorous standards currently in place and continue to incorporate into their curricula the use of new technologies and the study of the ethical issues these new technologies raise. ii

6 Legislative Directive In accordance with Rider 18 of the General Appropriations Act of the 76th Legislature (1999), the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board conducted an interim study regarding: Medical Ethics, Humanities, and Jurisprudence at Medical Schools. All academic health centers with medical schools and that receive a state appropriation are authorized to review the current curriculum content and requirements for medical ethics, humanities, and jurisprudence for medical students at their institution, including current instruction and integration into the basic sciences, clinic clerkships, and elective experiences. The review shall consider current testable material in these areas as might appear on each part of the United States Medical Licensure Examination. Institutions shall report this information to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board by September 1, 2000 in a format prescribed by the board. Background A physician=s ability to address and manage the array of ethical issues found in today=s health care environment results in some measure from the educational experiences and opportunities the physician encountered as a medical student. Texas medical students regularly deal with complex issues, such as Aend of life@ decisions, pain management, and insurance limitations on reimbursement for necessary or beneficial treatments. These issues, along with countless others, present Texas medical students with challenging and often difficult ethical and legal dilemmas. Ensuring that medical students are prepared to face the ever-changing means of providing health care is a fundamental part of the mission of each of Texas= medical schools. Since ethical issues are complex and continue to change over time, medical students must be prepared to consider both the technical and ethical implications of a patient=s condition when faced with an ethical dilemma. How a physician delivers medical information communicates to the patient and family members an underlying message of hope or despair. Ultimately, Texas medical schools must ensure that the next generation of physicians is adequately and ably prepared to respond to ethical and legal issues as they arise, with compassion and concern for patients and their families. National Definition, Accreditation, and Examples The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), a national non-profit association of the nation=s 125 doctor of medicine (MD) medical schools and 400 associated teaching hospitals, states its purpose as Athe improvement of the nation=s health through the advancement of academic medicine.@ The AAMC has defined medical ethics as Athe study of moral issues in the fields of medical treatment and research. Ethical issues are most often posted by conflicts between what benefits society and what benefits the individual. Religious and personal beliefs, scarce medical resources, and advances in biotechnology are factors that most often lead to ethical dilemmas.@ 1 The nation=s accredited 125 MD and 16 Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) medical schools must adhere to well-developed standards in their provision of medical education. The medical schools are required to offer experiences in basic sciences and clinical disciplines, as well as ethical, behavioral, and socioeconomic areas related to medicine. 2 The national accrediting 1
7 body for the majority of the nation=s medical schools is the Liaison Committee for Medical Education (LCME), which is a joint effort of the AAMC and the American Medical Association. The LCME sets the standards for educational programs leading to the MD degree. Included in these standards are the duration instruction (currently set at 130 weeks delivered over a minimum of four years), design and management of the curriculum, and curricular content. The AAMC web site is highlighting particular medical schools= efforts to incorporate education and training in medical ethics. Currently featured are the curricular changes implemented by the University of Michigan Medical School and the State University of New York, Upstate Medical University. Both schools incorporate medical ethics as an essential element in the curriculum. At the University of Michigan, first-year medical students learn to be mindful of patients= emotional states and how to communicate bad news to patients. At the State University of New York, medical students participate over a two-year period in both large and small group forums to study how differences in culture, race, and gender affect ethical issues and professional development. The AAMC=s journal Academic Medicine recently published a supplement, Snapshot of Medical Students= Education at the Beginning of the 21st Century: Reports from 130 Schools. The supplement presents an overview of 130 (118 U.S. and 12 Canadian) medical schools= curricula. In analyzing the changes occurring within medical schools and the resulting curricular revisions, the editor of the supplement reports that the greatest changes within medical education are found in how education is conducted. 3 U.S. medical schools now place greater importance on teaching students in small group settings, increasing student access to faculty, incorporating problem-based learning, and encouraging students to become more effective communicators. Those changes affect the way in which education and training in medical ethics, humanities, and jurisprudence are provided. Texas Medical Schools -- Recent Curricular Changes Texas medical schools have revised their curricula and incorporated new and innovative teaching methods to ensure that their students are prepared to address the technical, ethical, and legal changes they will face in their future practices. As advances in knowledge and understanding of disease processes are made, Texas medical schools are continually implementing these advances into the medical schools= curricula. These advances also have implications for educating students in ethical and legal issues, which is the subject of this report. Mastering technical skills, as well as understanding and addressing the ethical issues new technologies may bring, is included in the course work required of Texas medical students. During the last decade, curricula in Texas= medical schools have been revised to place a greater importance on increasing medical students= analytical skills and encouraging their pursuit of lifelong learning. Several Texas medical schools reported using smaller learning groups to foster communication skills and increase team work. Real-life patient cases or problem-based learning (PBL) teaching methods have been implemented by many of the medical schools, and students have been moved out of the lecture halls into smaller groups much earlier in their medical education than in the past. This approach lends itself well to discussions of ethical dilemmas, which seldom have clearly prescribed solutions. Several studies have been published on the use of PBL as a teaching method within the medical school setting. While there is no clear agreement that PBL as a teaching method is advantageous, some evidence suggests that the PBL model enhances medical students= critical assessment abilities. 3-6 While not all Texas medical schools have incorporated PBL into the curricula, most Texas medical schools have incorporated the use of 2
8 smaller groups, focused on case studies. Computer Simulation Over the past decade, Texas medical schools have incorporated the use of computer simulation to a greater degree than before. The medical schools rely on computer simulations to illustrate examples of human development, diagnosis of diseases, and treatment options. Computer simulations allow medical students to actively consider and experiment with a wide range of patient concerns and manipulate disease complications for varying effects. Medical student accessibility to computer simulations can efficiently enhance understanding of disease processes and the simulations may be modified with subtle or dramatic changes to highlight diseases or human development. The use of this technology greatly enhances students= accessibility to ethical issues, as students can manipulate the simulation to raise or diminish these challenges. Consistent and thoughtful exposure to ethical dilemmas helps ensure that medical students will be ably equipped to address them as they enter and begin practicing medicine. Testing and Licensure Physicians must pass several tests prior to treating patients. In order to obtain a Texas medical license, Texas physicians must pass a three-part national licensing examination -- the United States Medical License Exam (USMLE). Included on parts 1 and 2 of the USMLE are questions related to ethical behaviors, and psychosocial norms. Medical students are eligible to take two of the three parts of the licensure exam while they are enrolled in an accredited medical school. However, physicians are only eligible to sit for the third part of the exam following completion of the first-year of residency training. Additionally, to practice medicine in Texas, a physician must pass a state-required test on jurisprudence. The education and training of physicians in Texas, as in the United States, requires medical students to have a broad understanding of human development, disease, and the ethical issues these issues raise. National testing and state licensure serve to help ensure that physicians are appropriately prepared to enter medical practice. Medical Ethics Findings Texas= medical schools require their medical students to complete course work and clinical training in medical ethics and offer their students several opportunities to pursue additional study in ethics, humanities, and jurisprudence. Some courses clearly contain material related to medical ethics, while other courses include medical ethics as a component or section of a broader-based course. Six of the eight Texas medical schools require students to complete medical ethics as a separate course, usually in the fourth year of study. Four Texas medical schools offer students the opportunity to pursue additional study in medical ethics during the elective portion of their studies. Humanities 3
9 All eight Texas medical schools offer students the opportunity to study humanities in the elective portion of the curricula. Most of the medical schools offer students a selection or range of courses in the area of humanities. For example, students enrolled at Texas A&M University System Health Science Center, College of Medicine may select from among the following humanities course offerings during the elective portion of their education: medical humanities, history of medicine, literature and medicine, medical ethics, medicine and culture, or medical Spanish. Medical students at Baylor College of Medicine have the opportunity to study compassion and the art of medicine, history of medicine, literature and medicine, and four distinct medical ethics courses. Jurisprudence The study of jurisprudence is available to medical students in the elective portion of the curricula, and in the clinical training. Medical students gain a general understanding of the issues related to medical jurisprudence, including areas such structure and workings of the legal system, laws related to the practice of medicine, and issues of liability. To obtain a Texas medical license, a physician must pass a state-regulated jurisprudence exam. The exam tests physicians= knowledge of hospital law, drug law, conviction of crime that involves moral turpitude, withdrawal of treatment from terminally ill patients, Medicaid reporting requirements, aiding suicide, anatomical gifts, medical malpractice liability, and other issues. The study of medical ethics, humanities, and jurisprudence in Texas= medical schools partially fulfills national accreditation requirements, prepares students to sit for parts 1 and 2 of the national licensing exam (USMLE), and assures the public that next generation of physicians will be adequately prepared to handle the challenging ethical dilemmas they will encounter. History and Methodology of the Study In 1998, at the request of State Representative Dianne Delisi of Temple, Coordinating Board staff surveyed the eight Texas medical schools to assess the amount of instruction required of and available to Texas medical students in the areas of medical ethics and humanities. The 1998 survey did not request information about the instruction required or available in the area of jurisprudence. Institutional responses to the 1998 survey indicated that all Texas medical schools required medical students to complete some course work in medical ethics and humanities, and that additional course work was available for those students with greater interest in those areas. In August 2000, Coordinating Board staff surveyed Texas= eight medical schools to assess the amount of course work, required clinical experiences, and opportunities for electives the schools offered in the areas of medical ethics, humanities, and jurisprudence. The survey was similar to the one conducted in 1998, with an additional request for the institutions to provide information related to the study of jurisprudence and updates to an internal staff review of course catalogs. Completed survey responses were collected in August Institutional representatives were provided copies of reviewed survey responses and given opportunities to make revisions prior to publication. The institutional survey responses included in Appendix C of this report present an overview by institution of the instruction the medical schools offer and require in the areas of medical ethics, humanities, and jurisprudence. The responses present information in three sections: required 4
10 course work, required clinical training, and optional educational experiences. The survey also requested information about the number of full-time faculty and the amount of time allocated for these topics and means of study. Responses confirmed that, while each institution gives significant attention to medical ethics, humanities and jurisprudence in its curriculum, they do so in strikingly different ways, making direct comparisons between institutions difficult. The institutional surveys serve as a snapshot of Texas medical schools= curricula for the academic year. 5
