Digital Health Programs Provide Ethics Training

Researchers at University of California San Diego analyzed ethics education for digital health students, reviewing 132 syllabi from 76 programs across 62 universities and interviewing six leading scholars, published in JMIR in 2026. They identified seven themes showing that formal coursework conveys explicit concepts while tacit, practice-based learning remains unevenly accessible; authors recommend expanding structured early research engagement, communities of practice, and translating tacit ethical reasoning into resources.
