Professional Medical Ethics: Grounds for Its Separateness and Position in Ethical Education of Physicians and Medical Students

Summary/Abstract: In the article I prove the separateness of professional medical ethics in three ways: 1. By showing differences between the normative rank of responsibilities (conducts, values and virtues) within general and professional ethics. 2. By justifying affiliation of professional medical ethics within the appropriation model which is a type of applied ethics characterized by its unique properties. 3. By justifying historical professionalism as the ethics that is proper for the medical profession; for this kind of ethical internalism the content of professional ethics is the sole work of medical professional organizations as well as individual doctors. In the final part of the article I reconstruct the actual and postulated relations between professional ethics and professionalism as well as between academic bioethics and public bioethics. The aim of this reconstruction is to indicate the optimal from the perspective of ethical education place of professional ethics within the ethics education system for professionalists.
