This study examines levels of ethical reasoning in students and practitioners in radiologic technology. Results of quantitative analysis revealed few differences in levels of postconventional ethical reasoning among 3 groups: beginning students, graduating students and practitioners 3 to 5 years postgraduation. There were, however, significant differences in 3 schemas of ethical reasoning based on the new Defining Issues Test (DIT2). This study suggests that integrating ethical instruction into the curriculum could have a positive effect on higher levels of postconventional reasoning in both students and graduates in radiologic technology.
