Bioethics has become an integral part of medical education, training, services and research. Research ethics has become increasingly important with India being an important center for clinical research. Newer technology in medicine has introduced new moral questions. The advent of increasing privatization and corporatization of medical care has created new dilemmas in ethics. The medical professional of tomorrow will need to be equipped with attitudes and skills to deal with this challenging environment. The quantum of teaching in ethics in the current medical undergraduate and post-graduate training is grossly inadequate for meeting these challenges. There is therefore the need to create a band of professionals who can enhance the quality of education and research in bioethics.
