Résumé 0

"The state of evolution of attitudes in a sample of 142 Medical Students atthe Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogota (at the beginning, middleand ending of their studies) in the field of Human Research Ethics (HRE)is analytically described. A complex scale of attitudes was used, with threecomponents: affective, beliefs-related and behavioral, further divided intothree theoretical categories taken from Bioethics: Subject-End/means-Dignity, Benefit and Justice. The relationship between the current medicaleducation process and the attitudes regarding HRE in the sample are analyzed.A small trend towards progress in all categories and in all componentsof attitudes throughout medical education is described; neither the Benefitnor the Subject-End/means/Dignity categories evolve in a significant way;some significant differences were observed in the Justice category (beliefsand behavioral) and in the Subject-End/means-Dignity category (beliefscomponent). The results allow for asking about the role of formation andevolution of those attitudes throughout the academic process. In conclusion,attitudes seem to be progressing relatively, without a decisive evolution"
