Right to medical education and clinical-teaching ethics

The Medical Education and Human Rights Observatory was created five years ago, with the mission of researching and promoting human rights during the training process of general practitioners and specialists. To date, it is verified, by the recommendations that the National Human Rights Commission continues to issue, that the problem that gave rise to the observatory persists. However, favorable conditions are created for the study and application of clinical-teaching ethics, through the recently formed Clinical-Teaching Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine-Veracruz, of the Universidad Veracruzana. Adapting the training of general practitioners and specialists in medical units to ethical guidelines will significantly help to resolve the problem described.
