Study objective: This study is planning to develop a new simulation-based ethics education model and evaluate the effectiveness of the model to develop medical students' knowledge, moral reasoning, communication skills, and problem-solving abilities. Several strategies will be conducted to achieve this goal, including faculty development, ethics courses development, and case scenario development. Methods: The transnational learning and workshops will be arranged for faculty to develop competence for simulation-based ethics education. The workshops will gather the interdisciplinary experts together to discuss and develop the core curriculum and case scenario. The students will be assigned randomly into the simulated clinical ethical situation with simulation patients for the intervention group, and into the workshop discussing clinical ethics case scenario for the control group. The instruments will be developed and the quantitative and qualitative analysis will be conducted.
