Medical ethics and compliance amongst physician groups: a self-assessed survey in a hospital in Southeast Nigeria

Conclusions: Knowledge and practice of medical ethics were mostly deficient among younger Nigerian and female doctors. Remedying the situation will require better curricula both at the undergraduate and post-graduate medical school programmes for doctor trainees. Requiring certification in bioethics for license renewal will also help in resolving and improving the knowledge gap.Keywords: Professional; ethical; conduct; doctors; patients; survey; Nigeria; hospital.
