Received October 28, 2025; Accepted December 4, 2025; Published April 1, 2026

Highlights 

● A single two-hour, debate-based seminar embedded within an eight-year medical immunology curriculum significantly improved students' critical thinking (Cohen' s d=2.3) and ethical sensitivity. 

● Utilizing the high-profile "Liping Chen–PD-1/PD-L1 Nobel priority controversy" as a structured academic controversy (SAC) case enabled students to master key immuno-oncology concepts without requiring additional curricular time. 

● The scalable SAC model provides an efficient, evidence-based pathway to cultivate ethically-minded physician-scientists within the constraints of crowded medical curricula.
