Abstract
BIOETHICS IS NOW TAUGHT IN EVERY CANADIAN MEDICAL SCHOOL. Canada needs a ca dre of teachers who can help clinicians learn bioethics. Our purpose is to encourage clinician teachers to accept this important responsibility and to provide practical advice about teaching bioethics to clinicians as an inte gral part of good clinical medicine. We use 5 questions to focus the discus sion: Why should I teach! What should I teach? How should I teach! How shou ld I evaluate? How should I learn?
