The evolution of bioethics education across global medical schools over the past four decades and the current year. The data reflect trends in how ethics instruction is delivered, including basic mandatory coursework, elective courses, integration within the clinical curriculum, treatment as a sub-topic, and absence of formal training. While there has been a marked increase in both mandatory and integrated bioethics instruction, a significant number of institutions still offer only partial or no structured training. These trends underscore the growing recognition of ethics in medical education, while also highlighting ongoing gaps in its practical application and consistency.
