Summary. This paper describes an innovatory teaching programme in health care ethics for medical undergraduates. The general aims and objectives are outlined and the 1990 course is discussed specifically. The course has several unusual features, including the use of performers and the presentation of ethically based decision‐making implements, which are highlighted. The course is evaluated. The 1990 results are encouraging.
