· To definite correct ways to form GPs ethics.

A new idea

Time demands that GPs must to have a correct ethical orientation in order to reach health goals and correctly direct medical care that differ them from traditional medicine workers therefore we took some aspect of these problems and expressed our ideas.

Method

We acquainted with GPs curriculum, for questionairy taken from 4, 5, 6th courses students used method of Delphy evaluation on base of which combined ethical opinions, analyzed documents related to ethical problems used chi2 tests for statistical analyzes. Processing of study works executed by SPSS 16 program.

On question about contemporary youth ethical education only 43 (7.1%) gave “yes” answer that shows that this problem rests to wish the better. Majority of respondents (94.2%) that the ethic have to be taught. Analysis of researchers opinions about ethical topics to be taught shows that there are many pressing questions. In order to solve this problem we sent results of preliminary study to clinical and ethical experts and took their ideas and opinions.

Table 1 - Study of requirement for contemporary GPs:

Explanation: data was expressed by percentage and count significance. p<0.05,**p<0.01*.

Table 2 - General medicine graduate curriculum for the medical school of MNUMS

The table shows that an academic learning make up 168/5.2 bloc hours not including an independence learning. That occupies 2.1% of total learning hours. In first week of entrance medical school is given basic concepts of ethic and beginning from 3th course ethic is included as an elective for 42/2 bloc hours that is not so sufficient. Main work for students are to be acquainted with originals make notes and to work independently but in today's university teachers lead lectures and then. They risk all they said and it can't develop students thinking ability. It is very important to prepare every student so that they can enter real life with real goal and ability to be fully responsible for themselves. To implement newly developed curriculum it was necessary to establish at MNUMS general profession and family and preventive medicine families, in which work 2 pediatricians, 1 cardiologist, 1 surgeon, 1 obstetrician and 1 internist. In order to improve teaching skill of faculty members it is important to create optimal learning environment and materials, provide teachers with such progressive teaching methods as problem based and evidence based ones. First year students of institutes and university study humanitarian and basic subjects and 80% of second year subjects are related to professional topics and students begin to pass professional observational practice. Beginning from the second year students have to master ability to work in team and understand how important is a personal success for the team achievements. For the purpose of this student join teams with 4-5 members who write report, take part in faculty, school, university, city and state scientific conferences. In 3-6th years they take part in research work with the help of supervisors. One of the important aspects of professional ethic is to raise students juridical knowledge. For this purpose it is important to organize training and seminars where students can understand that many aspects of juridical and ethical matters are closely interrelated bur has differences and what to be solved by law and what will be resolved by ethical regulations. Intensification of online telemedical trainings and research works. Also play an important role in ethical training. professional educational ethic value

Discussion

Result of our study were proximatly identical with those done in some developed countries. And it was the first step in renewing and entiching official and unofficial curriculums for GPs ethic.

Conclusion

1. We consider as optimal to master medical education for 6 years gaining knowledge, skills and attitudes and including 24 ethical topics into basic sciences.

2. The way to form professional ethical attitudes are official and unofficial trainings. During the official training physicians and students are giver the topic “Fundamentals of Medical ethics” in independent in the curriculum of every subject. As to unofficial training it mast be organized in forms of online and distant learning. Forming of the professional ethics through research works is the most effective method.

Proposals

1. “If someone is eager to learn the way will lead him unimpeded” Trainings oriented towards ethical leadership, communication and attitudes must be organized, implemented and stabilized.

2. “To be a skilled doctor ethics is no problem” It is important that universal causes of ethics must be included in medical schools curriculum in topical forms.

3. “Ethical attitudes are learned not at medical schools but in a family environment” Must be taken effective nearures to make children rigounosly observe ethical and cultural norm from their early childhood.

4. “Ethical orientation is formed rather in observing interrelations and attitudes of senior colleagues and other health workers than in reading books or listening to lectures” In interrelations of doctors and client it is important such ethical principles as recommendation and secrecy.

5. “Although ethical subject are important but in our overloaded curriculum there is no place for ethical lessous” Therefore we need to overcome these difficulties and provide enough time and resources for ethical subjects. The world Association of Medical Education and the World Health Association also are looking ahead to resolve this problem.

Профессиональная этика - один из компонентов образовательной системы и части философии, который помогает нам выбрать правильный стиль поведения. Сильнее, чем традиция и привязанность, и основанная на логической этике, профессиональная этика разъясняет, что разрешено делать и что мы не должны делать, а также помогает относиться к ситуациям критически и беспристрастно, и регулярно совершенствовать систему ценностей. Именно поэтому, среди врачей общей практики этические проблемы занимают важное место. В развитых странах на эти проблемы обращено особое внимание, но есть также много проблем, которые еще требуют решения.
