Undisciplinary
Each episode, sometimes academics, Courtney Hempton, Jane Williams and Chris Mayes take an undisciplined dive (i.e. bellyflop) into the underwater caverns of history, ethics and politics of health. They are joined by a cocktail of erudite, cantankerous and more qualified guests to talk through everything from the history of feminist bioethics to why acronyms are a curse and unnecessary evil. Plus, they break down the latest biopolitical news, discuss #bioethicstwitter bin-fires, and dig up forgotten gems from the archive. New episodes drop every Thursday.

How to train good doctors: A History of Medical Ethics in the Curriculum
•
Season 3
•
Episode 2
In this episode Chris and Courtney discuss how "good doctors" are produced by looking at the history of medical ethics in the Australian medical curriculum. They tackle the myth that medical ethics wasn't taught prior to Beauchamp and Childress's "Principles of Biomedical Ethics" (1979), and it wasn't "mere etiquette" either. They also discuss the gendered aspects of medical education and ethics at the time.
