In Brazilian medical education and in the general teaching of bioethics in Brazil, there is a recurrent debate about the best way to teach ethics and/or bioethics, and even about whether it is possible to do so. In part this is due to the growing concern in society about the necessity of physicians to be both technically and morally competent. The teaching of bioethics is distinguished from medical ethics in that it focuses on the rights and duties of the doctor and also by its multi-and inter-disciplinary characteristics. The aim of the present study was to identify whether bioethics as a specific discipline is included in the curriculum of Brazilian undergraduate medical courses, and if so, how it is taught and what are its contents. The study found that the number of dedicated bioethics classes in medical courses has increased, and that the most frequently addressed issues are: an introduction to bioethics and principles of bioethics, the physician-patient relationship, abortion and euthanasia. Keywords: Medical education. Bioethics. Higher education. Moral development. ResumoEnsino de bioética nas faculdades de medicina no Brasil É recorrente, no âmbito da educação médica brasileira e no ensino da bioética de modo geral, o debate sobre a melhor maneira de ensinar ética e/ou bioética. Parte disso decorre da crescente preocupação na sociedade de contar com médicos técnica e moralmente competentes. O ensino de bioética distingue-se do ensino de ética médica, já que esse último está centrado nos direitos e deveres do médico, enquanto o primeiro tem seu foco na multi, inter e transdisciplinaridade. O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar se a disciplina de bioética encontra-se na matriz curricular, como é ministrada e quais são os conteúdos trabalhados nos cursos de medicina do Brasil. Observou-se aumento do número de oferta de disciplinas autônomas de bioética nos cursos médicos e que os temas mais abordados pelas disciplinas são introdução à bioética e princípios da bioética, relação médico-paciente, aborto e eutanásia. Palavras-chave: Educação médica. Bioética. Educação superior. Desenvolvimento moral.

Introduction: Due to the suspension of face-to-face activities during the COVID-19 pandemic, Higher Education Institutions had to discuss and plan alternative actions in an attempt to readequate themselves to emerging educational demands in order to offer remote accessibility to the academic community and, consequently, reduce social and digital exclusion. Development: Having that in mind, this article aims at offering a reflection on the teaching of bioethics under the perspective of social justice and education. Within this context, the students’ socioeconomic profile cannot be ignored in the planning of online education, since it directly affects students’ accessibility to academic activities through the use of computers and the internet. Therefore, this article proposes the use of moral intelligence skills as learning goals, in addition to revising and contextualizing pre-existing problems prior to the new reality of didactic contents. Moreover, it proposes a reflection on how bioethics may contribute to the discussions on the increase in social inequalities during this moment of crisis. Conclusion: The reflections presented in this article can be used in both remote, face-to-face and hybrid teaching contexts.
