MGR university introduces bioethics in curriculum

The MGR University has introduced bioethics in its curriculum to help medical students learn the importance of ethics and understand the difference between what is good and bad. The University celebrated the occasion by organising various events for the affiliated colleges. 

Stating that professors are being trained on how to teach the students bioethics, said Dr S Geethalakshmi, Vice Chancellor of the University said, “Students should be sensitised and made aware of ethical practices which do not affect anybody. We therefore revamped the curriculum to introduce the subject.”

The University’s program, under the theme ‘Equality Justice and Equity’, saw the participation of around 81 students from affiliated colleges. They belonged to various departments, including Medical, Dental, Nursing, Siddha, Yoga and Naturopathy from different colleges across the city.
