Overview

In the wake of a recent controversy over the alleged inappropriate remarks about cadavers made by the final year MBBS student of KEM Hospital, the Karnataka Government has decided to issue fresh guidelines to medical students on maintaining appropriate behaviour and showing respect towards bodies donated for medical education and research.

As per TOI media report, the state's ethics committee is scheduled to meet next week to discuss ways to reinforce existing guidelines and consider modifications related to students' conduct while handling donated bodies during anatomy training.
