Abstract:

This case study aimed to outline an overview of ethics training on Brazilian undergraduate dentistry courses, in order to construct knowledge related to the changes required with regard to the training of ethically competent health professionals. Thus, the objective of this study – the ethics training of students – was defined by a conceptual reference, constructed at the interface of inter-related concepts. The reference also contributed to the outlining of this qualitative research, which includes a questionnaire with ethical-pedagogical questions, sent to the coordinators of 15 courses selected for the sample. The results indicated a precise commitment of the courses to the ethical dimension of the professional training, as well as advances related to the training of the teaching staff, the profile of the graduate and the curricular integration process. On the other hand, they highlighted deficiencies regarding the contents concerned with the cultural, humanistic and political background, in relation to the didactic orientation, the teaching-learning scenarios, the evaluation process, and also the incipient presence of bioethics regarding the subject and the crossover curricular theme, together with the lack of specific training of the teaching staff.
