Abstract

The code of medical ethics is the guideline for the professional performance of physicians during the exercise of the

profession, and its knowledge is fundamental. Therefore, the present study aims to estimate the knowledge of academics and medical professionals regarding the code of medical ethics. An observational and descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative study was carried out with 323 individuals registered in the database of the Centro Universitário IMEPAC and the Instituto Master de Ensino Presidente Antônio Carlos – campus Itumbiara through an electronic form. In the statistical analysis, Excel and BioEstat software were used. The general average of correct answers was 20.15 of the total of 28 questions. The highest performance was found in the first year of graduation and the lowest in the last year of graduation. Issues related to the chapter on professional secrecy had a high error rate, followed by the chapter on donation and transplantation of organs and tissues. Maintaining the teaching of the code of medical ethics throughout graduation would allow this knowledge to be consolidated in order to contribute to the resolution of legal and ethical conflicts.
