Background: Students get their first experiences of dissecting human cadavers in the practical classes of anatomy. These experiences may help in their profession, but may also create some problems for students Aims: To find out the attitudes and reactions of medical students to the dissection room. Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted on 309 first year MBBS students at the local college of Lahore with no previous experience of cadaver dissection. Students were filled a questionnaire. The questionnaire designedwas based to identify the feelings and problems faced by the students in their first exposure to the human cadaver. Results: Almost 25% students experience no symptom on first entry into the dissecting room. The commonest symptoms of 75% students were insomnia, dizziness, sweating, loss of appetite and palpitation. Other symptoms reported were breathlessness, skin irritation, irritation of the eye, etc. Focusing on task was the main coping strategy used by majority of students. Conclusion: The majority of the students initially experience nausea and fear that may reduce with time while excitement and interest had increased on ensuing exposure to dissection.Study concluded that the negative effect of dissection room on students is less than the benefits of dissection of cadaver. Anticipation felt by the students to learn dissecting the cadaver was relatively high. Keywords: Cadaver, Dissection room, Medical students.

Abstract Medical ethics has become an important and recognized component of physician training. There is one area, however, in which medical students receive little guidance. There is practically no discussion of the financial aspects of medical practice. My objective in this paper is to initiate a discussion about the moral dimension of physician billing practices. I argue that physicians should expand their conception of professional responsibility in order to recognize that their moral obligations toward patients include a commitment to honest and forthright billing practices. I argue that physicians should aspire to a standard of clinical accuracy—not legal adequacy—in describing their activities. More generally, physicians should strive to promote an integrity-based professional culture, first and foremost by stigmatizing rather than celebrating creative billing practices, as well as condemning the misguided sense of solidarity that currently makes it taboo for physicians to criticize each other on this score.

Psychological Inventory

According to the results of two psychological tests administered to freshman medical students of classes 1960–67, Adjective Check List measuring self-concept, and the California Psychological Inventory, describing personality, women medical students see themselves as more willing than men to express feelings and admit weaknesses and as less likely to endorse the extremes of dominant and aggressive behavior. In addition, the female student is more likely than the male to view herself as totally committed to her goals and as relatively content with them. No differences were apparent between the sexes on a cluster of personality scales relating to interpersonal effectiveness (dominance, sociability, self-acceptance, and a sense of well-being). However, on scales that rated responsibility, socialization, and tolerance, and in two of three scales that measured achievement, women scored higher than men. Results of both tests confirmed the belief that women medical students tend to display more sensitivity to relationship values, more general acceptance of feelings, and greater alertness to moral and ethical issues than male medical students. They also value independence and individuality to a greater degree than their male colleagues or educated women in general.

   Background: Mentoring is the relationship of a guide or a teacher with another person/student augmenting his/her carrier growth, knowledge, skills, and experiences implemented by caring, sharing and helping hands. The aim of this paper is to highlight the mentoring, type of mentoring, how important of matching and consideration of ethical issue in mentoring program. Not missing these significant points, mentoring program could be successful in universities including medical faculty.  Methods: The SMART principles of specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound are essential to structure the matching between mentor and mentee. The rule of etiquette and ethical issues are crucial and beneficial for mentor mentee relationship. Clinical mentoring programs help to develop students’ clinical skills and can increase interest in under-subscribed specialties. Positive mentoring plays a part in reversing the decline of academic medicine, by sparking interest through early research experiences.  Results: There is the short term goal which is to introduce an immediate support network for incoming students and the long term goal is to cultivate a mentoring culture to engage all strata of medical students and every faculty member. Medical students expressed that mentoring program is to provide counselling, develop professionalism, increase students' interest in research, and support them in their personal growth.  Conclusion: The goal of mentorship is to provide additional support to student or mentee by steering of the academic needs or social prerequisites to accelerate the personal and professional development of mentee with advice, guide and feed backs from the mentor.

The paper points out the specifics of medical students’ professional culture formation, analyses its components and conditions. The experience of virtual training programme use in Latin classes for medical students is summarized. Development of professional culture is sure to enrich the man’s inner world, as well as to contribute to his (her) professional development and personal self-improvement. Any person reveals himself (herself) most vividly while interacting with the others in performing professional duties, the outcomes often depending on the proper conduct, speaking, hearing, and language.     Training of future medical professionals is an element of professional education and is aimed at providing specialists with a certain level of professional skills alongside with the formation of proper professional qualities and development of general personal culture. Medical educational institutions are supposed to provide future specialists with adequate amount of knowledge, necessary for the work in their field and to make them aware of their professional perspectives and able to influence the process actively and effectively. It is in this aspect that the professional culture is involved, that is demeanour, speaking, hearing, and language matching the generally accepted standards and principles, primarily moral, and the requirements set to the particular profession. Professional culture of the future medical workers is not the sum of professional knowledge, abilities, and skills only, but a part of general spiritual culture that manifests itself in professional competence, readiness for analysis and evaluation of professional and ethical issues, decision-making, communicative skills, as well as conscious striving for self-education, self-development, and constant professional self-perfection. Formation of medical students’ professional culture is a “teacher-student” indissoluble connection based on humanism, creative activity, and common search for new goals and tasks, which increase future specialists’ motivation to attain new peaks in the professional activity.
