• This article describes a unique format for graduate education in professional ethics that integrated doctoral- and master's-level instruction in "ethics laboratory" activities for the mutual benefit of both groups of graduate psychology students. Students enrolled in concurrently offered sections of doctoral- and master's-level professional ethics courses participated in periodic small group discussions facilitated by the doctoral students. A mixed quantitative and qualitative outcome evaluation provided preliminary support for this instructional method as an effective supplement to traditional classroom pedagogy in providing students with knowledge of ethics codes and models of ethical reasoning. The method was not effective in increasing students' self-reported confidence in their ability to resolve ethical dilemmas. The significance of these findings is discussed.
