It has been decided to impart training in ethics along with medical education. This is welcome. But people are already given enough ethical training by religious saints. If this is similarly given in medical college, there is no likelihood of any benefit.

Ethics need be based on social responsibility and pragmatism. Corruption hurts everyone. Religion based education will be futile.

this is the need of the hour....with more and more private financing colleges increasing....the ethics in doctors have come to an all time low...they want to earn quick money....no wonder they are ready to give lakhs in donations to the colleges for a medical seat...

So long as the medical education is extremely expensive, teaching ethics will not work. In any case, whatever ethics are taught in college, the doctors are very likely to forget it as soon as they start their careers as a doctor, save for a handful few who practice ethics in their profession without having learned that in college. Gulshan is right, it is not something that should be taught, it should come from within, by one's own knowledge of what is right and what is wrong and to be able to put that consciousness into practice.

I think ethical training is good. Reason being it will affect atleast few people in the class because though doctors may forget their ethical vows after a period of time but everyone should not be judged by the same meter and it may happen that few of of the sincere doctors take the ethical training seriously and this may change their attitude towards their profession.
