ASSESSING THE KNOWLEDGE AND AWARENESS OF MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE AND MEDICAL ETHICS
Akshita Agarwal, Dr. Namita Jain
Abstract
There has been a recent uptick in both patient complaints and legal action against doctors. Therefore, acquaintance with Medico Legal problems is as important to training in clinical skills for a successful medical profession. The aim of this study was to determine how much medical legislation is understood by medical interns and residents. Many people in the sample group have a shocking lack of knowledge when it comes to issues of medical ethics and the possibility of medical error. Sixty-two percent of interns are not experts in the field. Only around five percent of medical students and residents have very exceptional knowledge, while almost half know just enough to get by. Taking urgent action to address physicians' apparent lack of concern for their own and their patients' safety is warranted by the findings of this research.
