title: Teaching of bioethics within a residency program in obstetrics and gynecology.
abstract: A formal curriculum for the teaching of bioethics was instituted within an obstetric and gynecologic residency program. The curriculum included an introductory lecture series, an ongoing series of case presentations, and occasional grand rounds on particular issues. An emphasis was placed on physician responsibilities within contemporary bioethical parameters. A summary of the first year of such an effort is presented.
