    The recent negative media reports on the status of participants in clinical trials in India, together with the concerns expressed by the regulatory bodies, have raised questions regarding India's credibility in the conduct of clinical research. Even though the regulations require the registration of trials with the Clinical Trial Registry – India and despite the recently mandated registration of ethics committees (ECs) with the Drugs Controller General of India, the lack of governmental audit and accreditation procedures and bodies has resulted in inadequate protection of human participants in clinical research. Institutions and research sites would benefit by implementing a human research protection programme, which would safeguard the rights, safety and wellbeing of participants in clinical trials, in addition to improving the processes and procedures for the conduct of the trial.

    This article explores instances of dysfunctional behaviour in resident doctors and examines the causes. It looks at the cultural competency training procedures for doctors in some institutions. There is a need for greater competency and diversity training of resident doctors. Counselling services also must be in place for addressing stress issues of doctors. These are important attributes looked for by WHO for accreditation.
