    AbstractHigh-quality clinical practice includes not only improving clinicians' expertise in scientific and technical aspects but also managing values, ethical sensitivity and skills for assessing and dealing with ethical conflicts. The reviewed literature suggests the presence of an "ethical erosion", according to which ethical competence and empathy decrease or do not progress during medical training. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between ethics (moral reasoning and ethical sensitivity) and empathy in a group of medical students and to determine the relationship with other variables such as academic year and sex.Copyright © 2018 Elsevier España, S.L.U. and Sociedad Española de Medicina Interna (SEMI).
