Resum

La formació en ètica dels professionals en salut pública (SP) és necessària però insuficient. Aquest article pretén descriure el grau en què els màsters de salut pública (MSP) a Espanya inclouen l'ètica en el seu programa i revisar els materials docents d'ètica en SP disponibles en llengua anglesa. Examinem a Internet el programa dels MSP i els materials docents utilitzant diferents estratègies de cerca. Dels 14 MSP identificats, la meitat (7) inclouen l'ètica en el seu programa i en tots els casos aquesta s'ensenya juntament amb altres aspectes de SP. Dotze llibres de text van ser revisats, 5 dels quals inclouen casos pràctics i gairebé tots ells tenen un alt valor com a material docent.
