%X Since 2019, medical ethics education, along with training in attitude and communication skills, has been integrated into the standard MBBS curriculum in India to foster a more empathetic and communicative approach among doctors toward patients. To optimise this educational module for future learners, it is essential to evaluate its effectiveness through real-world case-based learning. We chose three clinical cases and organised online debates in small groups of second-year MBBS students. Following discussion of each case, students submitted written narratives and personal reflections, and later provided overall feedback on the activity. The results showed that students gained a deeper appreciation of the complexity involved in resolving ethical dilemmas and valued the chance to express and debate contrasting viewpoints. The online format proved effective and could be adopted in the future as a practical tool for seamlessly incorporating medical ethics discussions into routine clinical training.
