Summary:
For more than 160 years, the Code of Medical Ethics has been the authoritative guide on medical professionalism. First developed in 1847 by the American Medical Association (AMA) and it's council on Ethical and Judicial affairs, the Code undergoes regular revisions, and sets the standard for practicing principled medicine. Addressing the professional challenges faced by physicians today, the 2010-2011 edition of the Code of Medical Ethics presents a guidance through more than 200 ethical opinions on topics ranging from physician obligation in disaster preparedness and response, to physicians participation in interrogations, to genetic testing and counseling, to use of electronic mail and health-related online sites. In addition to containing the nine Principles of Medical Ethics, this resource incorporates new and updated opinions, such as quality access to care, decision making for minor patients, breach of security in electronic health records, respecting civil rights in intra-professional relationships and more. An essential companion for physicians and other medical professionals, attorneys, and patients who contend with the challenging issues and choices inherent in modern medicine, this resource has been increasingly looked to for legal advocacy, decision making in matters of health care law and litigation, and development of health care policy.
