History
Department of Medical Ethics, Semnan University of Medical Sciences and Health Services
Medical ethics can be considered as a set of valued do's and don'ts of health workers that are necessary for this sacred profession.
Medicine has been accompanied by ethical guidelines since its inception. But its special and organized form is a relatively new thing that has been formed in the country's medical universities in recent years along with the presentation of courses in the field of ethics.
Since the establishment of the Semnan University of Medical Sciences and Health Services, 2 units of medical ethics for medical students and professional ethics and regulations for a number of other majors of the university have been presented by the cooperation of the Islamic Teachings group, the Office of the Leadership Institution, experienced professors of the university and under supervision of the Department of Education.
A professional ethics committee was established in the university in 2011 and some workshops were held to strengthen it. Subsequently, in 2015, the University Medical Ethics Council was formed. To organize its teaching and monitoring, an independent group of medical ethics was formed in 2018 by the management of Mr. Gholamhossein Mahdavinejad.
