Medical ethics in clinical practice

Abstract

The medical activity can be seen in different contexts, both in clinical practice and in scien- tific research. The concept of clinical practice is every act performed on a patient with the objective of diagnosing or treating illnesses. On the other hand, clinical research questions different aspects related to human health. This study initially seeks to clarify the aspects and components that guide the doctor-patient relationship and communication, defining the ethical values of this practice, from which the medical professional models its character, through a relationship between the principles addressed in the scope of their ethics. health professionals. The demonstration of an adequate and healthy relationship between medical professionals and their patients is necessary and fundamental through respect and mainly through the principle of autonomy, since every human being must be recognized as an end and duen of symbolism, hence medical activities include processes that involve life, health and physical integrity. Thus, this work will address the various aspects of medical ethics, in relation to the context of the clinical practice of the doctor.
