CM Francis Medical Ethics, 4/E: Complete Handbook on Ethics in the Medical Profession for MBBS Students and Faculty | MCI Regulations on Professional Conduct, Etiquettes and Ethics Included

CM Francis Medical Ethics, 4th Edition is a complete handbook on ethics in the medical profession, revised and edited to align with the Medical Council of India's (now NMC's) competency-based medical education curriculum. Across 220 pages and 22 chapters organized into 8 sections, it introduces MBBS students to the aspects of medicine that fall outside core medical science disciplines - language, communication skills, ethics, and professionalism - that the revised curriculum was specifically designed to address. The book moves from foundational concepts (medical ethics basic issues, teaching/learning medical ethics, codes of conduct) through bioethics (malpractice and negligence, confidentiality, autonomy and informed consent, rights of patients), professional and personal issues (irrational drug therapy), beginning-of-life questions (right to life, sex preselection and female feticide, assisted reproductive technologies), and end-of-life questions (care of the terminally ill, euthanasia). It continues into health policy and health care (health policy, distributive justice in health care, technology), emerging issues (alternate medicine, organ transplantation, HIV/AIDS, genetics), and human experimentation and research (human experimentation, clinical trials), closing with an annexure reproducing the Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquettes and Ethics) Regulations, 2002, and an index. Who This Book Is For: MBBS 1st Year Students: a curriculum-aligned handbook covering the ethics component the revised Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2018 require alongside core science subjects. Medical College Faculty: a structured teaching reference, including a dedicated chapter on Teaching/Learning Medical Ethics and the full text of the MCI Professional Conduct Regulations for classroom use. Why This Book Helps: Fills a real curriculum gap: earlier, students absorbed ethical values only by observing teachers, guides, and seniors as role models, with no uniform guidelines in the medical curriculum - this book gives that content a structured, examinable form. Builds medicolegal and humanitarian judgment: covers the medicolegal, societal, ethical, and humanitarian principles students need to grow professionally and serve patients and society responsibly. Addresses real-world variation in practice: doctors trained in different settings tend to interpret ethical problems differently in the absence of uniform guidelines - this handbook standardizes that foundation. Bundles the regulatory text itself: includes the full annexure of the Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquettes and Ethics) Regulations, 2002, so students study the actual regulatory language, not just a paraphrase. Key Features: 22 chapters across 8 sections spanning introduction, bioethics, beginning-of-life and end-of-life issues, health policy, emerging issues, and human experimentation/research. Complete handbook explicitly built around "Ethics in Medical Profession" as its sole focus. Latest MCI Regulations on "Professional Conduct, Etiquettes and Ethics" reproduced as a full annexure. Follows the new Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2018. Dedicated chapters on emerging issues including organ transplantation, HIV/AIDS, genetics, and assisted reproductive technologies.
