Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Scientific, technological, and social progress in different areas of knowledge, notably in biological sciences and health care, causes the emergence of moral conflicts in medicine and boosts the relevance of Bioethics regarding new interfaces in the doctor-patient relationship, raising the need to increase ethical training during medical graduation.Objective:
The objective of this study was to verify the offer of curricular contents that deal with the content of Bioethics in the curricular matrices of undergraduate Medicine courses in Brazil.Method:
This is a documentary study. The curricular matrices of each course were analyzed, investigating information about the provision of a curricular component or the presence of curricular contents with Bioethics content in the matrix. When present, the workload, cycle and modality (if associated, isolated, throughout the course, in other subjects or optional).Result:
It turned out that Bioethics is offered by 61.85% of courses, with the majority offering it in the basic cycle, associated with another curricular component, with an average of 53 hours. Courses in the southern region offer the curricular component in a higher percentage and with a greater number of hours.Conclusion:
It is concluded that the teaching of Bioethics, despite its importance, is still not offered by all courses in Brazil, contradicting the national curricular guidelines of the Ministry of Education and UNESCO recommendations.RESUMO

O progresso científico, tecnológico e social nas diferentes áreas do conhecimento, notadamente nas ciências biológicas e no cuidado em saúde provoca o surgimento de conflitos morais em medicina e impulsionam a relevância da Bioética no que tange às novas interfaces da relação médico-paciente, suscitando a necessidade de incremento na formação ética durante a graduação de medicina.Objetivo:
O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a oferta de conteúdos curriculares que tratam do teor da Bioética nas matrizes curriculares dos cursos de graduação em Medicina do Brasil.Metodologia:

Quando presente, a carga horária, o ciclo e a modalidade (se associada, isolada, ao longo do curso, em outras disciplinas ou optativa).Resultado:
Resultou que a Bioética é ofertada por 61,85% dos cursos, sendo que a maioria a oferece no ciclo básico, associada a outro componente curricular, com média de 53 horas. Os cursos da região sul oferecem o componente curricular em maior porcentagem e com maior número de horas.Conclusão:
