Zusammenfassung:Background: One of the most important fields in medicine is medical ethics. This study aimed to evaluate the attitude to medical ethics among physicians to determine weak and strength points in this statement and to improve it.   Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 103 physicians were selected from Isfahan areas, Iran, and their attitude about medical ethics was evaluated via a special questionnaire. Finally, the data were analyzed using SPSS software. Findings: The mean ± SD of attitude score in studied population was 48.4 ± 8.9 (rang: 28-96) from the maximum score of 100. 1 physician (1%) had weak attitude, 62 (61.2%) had moderate attitude and 40 (38.8%) had good attitude about medical ethics. Conclusion: According to our findings, physicians’ attitude about medical ethics is not acceptable and some strategies must be done for improvement of this attitude, especially among medical students.
