Code of Medical Ethics, 2014-2015

by Ama

For more than a century and a half, the Code of Medical Ethics has helped set the standard for everyone involved with the medical industry in regard to upholding the highest level of medical professionalism. As a statement of the enduring values to which physicians commit themselves individually and collectively, the Code of Medical Ethics addresses the professional challenges faced by physicians today. 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. The Code of Medical Ethics offers valuable guidance through more than 200 ethical opinions, including:
• Physician obligation in disaster preparedness and response
• Physician participation in interrogations
• Genetic testing and counseling
• Electronic mail, social media and health-related online sites
• Financial relationships and Continuing Medical Education
