Summary. The teaching of ethics to medical students has recently become a topic of much importance to all concerned with medical education. However, those most involved, the students themselves, have been consulted very little. This paper reports the views of a sample of medical students at Oxford University on what ethics teaching they receive, of how much value they consider it to be and what form of teaching they would like to see included in their curriculum.
