Published 2022-10-01“…What it means to be a professional acupuncturist As a professional, the practitioner is expected to maintain high standards in treatment, conduct themselves morally, prioritize the well-being of the patient, equally provide treatment without bias, communicate effectively to ensure patients understand the treatment options before confirmation of treatment, maintain proper personal conduct, and should not abuse patient trust by using their position and influence as a TCM practitioner.12 In light of relevant literature, we propose the following aspects as necessary elements of professionalism in acupuncture: knowledgeable (well learned and engaged in lifetime learning in both TCM and biomedicine), providing good quality (hygienic) clinical care, equipped with ethical thinking and behavior, possess interprofessional communication skills (with acupuncturists, physicians, and other professionals), and holds a practitioner license and accreditation. …”

The History of Medical Ethics in India
Published 2022-11-01“…There has been minimal progress in making it easier to get a medical school acceptance; there is still a long way to go in equalizing access to education. India’s system for training doctors is now rife with corruption, with bribes accepted under the guise of “donations” and new curricula completely devoid of traditional Indian training methods.[18] Nepotism in the industry has made qualifications even less significant. …”
