Abstract
The objective of our study was to evaluate the perspective of Inonu University Medical Faculty 2010-2011 semester senior students to ethics and ethics courses by conducting a survey. This study was carried out at the Malatya Inonu University Medical Faculty during April-May lasting a period of two months. As a result of our study, a statistically significant relationship was determined between the students who have taken ethics courses and those with knowledge of codes of ethics. Attending a course on ethics enables medical students to have a knowledge related to the subject thus bringing with it an “Ethical” sensibility resulting in finalizing ethical dilemmas in their career more easily and correctly.
