There is no agreed-upon definition of medical professionalism and academic integrity. All experts worldwide, though define medical professionalism in different ways, agree that certain core values and behaviors must be present Academic integrity incorporates many values of medical professionalism. These are honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility. Medical colleges, while defining academic integrity, usually explain academic misconduct. Undesirable behaviors of academic misconduct, which are frequently seen in medical students, cover the common areas of concern related to medical students’ fitness to practice as doctors. These areas of concern are persistent inappropriate attitude, and behavior, criminal conviction or caution, drug or alcohol abuse, cheating and plagiarizing, unprofessional behavior and attitudes, aggressive, violent or threatening behavior, and dishonesty or fraud. By regulating medical education, and its practice, the medical councils ensure that the medical students have the desired attitudes, and competencies on becoming doctors, to ensure public health and safety. Another important function of medical councils and disciplinary bodies in medical colleges is taking disciplinary action against doctors who show unethical or criminal conduct. For this purpose, the medical councils and disciplinary bodies of medical colleges have a code of conduct or ethical policy.
