Abstract

Objectives: we intend to describe how undergraduates majoring in Speech & Language Therapy, Obstetrics and Occupational Therapy, appreciate their Bioethics courses. Methodology: descriptive, cross-sectional, study; a survey was designed and applied to 147 students from Schools of: 29,9% Speech & Language Therapy, 42,2% from Obstetrics, and 18,4% from Occupational Therapy. Items inspected topics such as students’ attitudes and perception of their learning process outcomes after completing Bioethics courses, as well as Bioethics’ relevance for professional practice. Results: data were analyzed descriptively. 99,3% of surveyed students strongly agree or agree in considering Bioethics as useful. 85% of surveyed students reported regularly using Bioethics guidelines in their clinical practice. Conclusions: Students from the three surveyed majors perceive Bioethics courses as useful and highly relevant within clinical contexts. Curricular-design processes should consider a more practical approach when implementing Bioethics courses for to-be health professionals.
