Abstract

Health care related professionals are expected to adhere to ethical and value systems meticulously. Their knowledge and skill levels were given maximum attention in the past but the bahaviour and attitudes were not specifically instructed or evaluated. Role models were used in the instructions of affective domain. But the technological advancements compelled a great shift towards the competency-based instructions. In the present-day society, we have to catch up with instructions on bahaviour and attitudes. In the assessments also ethical behaviour should be given sufficient importance so that our doctors will maintain the humaneness in professional life.
