Using simulated case studies to evaluate a clinical ethics course for junior students.

An experimental teaching program in clinical ethics was developed and evaluated. All junior medical students who rotated through a general internal medicine service (75 percent of the class) were required to attend 12 to 14 hours of a clinical ethics seminar which met on a general medicine unit. The teaching sessions were structured around actual cases presented by the junior medical students. One of the evaluation techniques developed is discussed here: the use of simulated clinical-ethical cases. The questions themselves, the method of scoring them, and the findings will be examined. On the basis of this evaluation procedure, some tentative conclusions can be drawn: (a) it is possible to develop evaluation techniques to assess objectively students' ethical reasoning after participating in such a course, and (b) junior medical students who participate in a clinical ethics course show increased reflectiveness regarding ethical decisions.

Polymyositis complicating pregnancy.

Reports of dermatomyositis and polymyositis during pregnancy are rare, there being only one previously published case that we know of in the literature. We report a case in which severe polymyositis developed during pregnancy and the patient experienced dramatic improvement following delivery. Since there is evidence that polymyositis is an immune-mediated disease, one has to speculate that the fetus and its complement of foreign antigens might have played a role in the patient's disease.
