Description
Noha Abed Althagafi and Ghiath Alahmad survey how little ethics training Saudi obstetricians and gynecologists actually receive in a 2023 study. New dilemmas keep arriving in reproductive medicine, and knowing ethical principles in the abstract does not prepare a doctor for hard calls on the ward. Residency programs in the kingdom still lack a structured ethics curriculum.
Three hundred ninety-one practitioners answered, about two in five of those invited, most of them women. Only about a quarter had any formal ethics education, scattered across medical school, residency, and later programs. Another quarter learned informally through courses, conferences, and self-study, and a fifth had none at all. Nearly everyone endorsed ethical principles warmly, yet few felt able to handle real ethical challenges. The authors press for formal ethics teaching built into specialty training.
