An introductory course in ethics was conducted to emphasize the importance of moral responsibility and professionalism in medical practice and research .
The session focused on Code of Ethics framed by regulatory bodies,including principles of respect for patient autonomy,beneficence,non- maleficence,and justice
Key aspects of professionalism such as integrity ,accountability, confidentiality and respectful conduct towards patients,colleagues,and society were also discussed.
The highlight of the course was,first year post graduates pledged to uphold ethical standards in clinical practice,pharmacological research,and patient care.This reinforced our commitment to ethical values in medicine.
ABOUT:
What is it?
Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is an international ethical and scientific quality standard for designing, conducting, recording, and reporting clinical trials involving human participants.
Importance:
Ensures the rights, safety, and well-being of trial participants, and guarantees that the data collected is credible and reliable.
Since when mandatory?
GCP became internationally recognized in 1996 with the ICH-GCP guidelines and is now mandatory in most countries for clinical trials.
Who takes care of it?
Regulatory authorities (like FDA in the US, EMA in Europe, CDSCO in India), Ethics Committees/IRBs, sponsors, and investigators all share responsibility for ensuring compliance.
As part of Medical PG Curriculum (India):
2019 → National Medical Commission (NMC, formerly MCI) included training in GCP, research ethics, and biomedical research methodology as mandatory in the Postgraduate (PG) curriculum.
All PG students must complete the ICMR–NIE “Basic Course in Biomedical Research”, which includes GCP principles.
