Description
The American Medical Association's "Code of Medical Ethics" includes opinions on a wide variety of ethical and professional issues that confront the medical profession. The annotations reflect citations to the opinions in judicial rulings and the medical, ethical, and legal literature. This 2006-2007 edition contains 200 ethical opinions of the AMA's Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs, along with the AMA's nine Principles of Medical Ethics and several opinions on topics including physician health and wellness, physician obligation in disaster preparedness and response, direct-to-consumer diagnostic imaging tests, and resident physicians' involvement in patient care. New guidance is given on previous topics such as transplantation of organs from living donors, racial and ethnic health care disparities, and medical testimony.
