Subsequently, revisions were published as the APA Board of Trustees and the APA Assembly approved additional annotations. In July of 1980, the American Medical Association (AMA) approved a new version of the Principles of Medical Ethics (the first revision since 1957), and the APA Ethics Committee1 incorporated many of its annotations into the new Principles, which resulted in the 1981 edition and subsequent revisions. This version includes changes to the Principles approved by the AMA in 2001. Foreword ALL PHYSICIANS should practice in accordance with the medical code of ethics set forth in the Principles of Medical Ethics of the American Medical Association. An up-to-date expression and elaboration of these statements is found in the Opinions and Reports of the Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs of the American Medical Association.2 Psychiatrists are strongly advised to 3 be familiar with these documents. However, these general guidelines have sometimes been difficult to interpret for psychiatry, so further annotations to the basic principles are offered in this document.

The Vermont Medical Society commits to protecting its members’ (physicians, 11 physician assistants, medical students) freedom to follow their own conscience in 12 deciding whether to participate in providing care or treatment, consistent with the 13 ethical norms of their professions, stated for physicians in AMA Code of Ethics Section 14 1.1.7, found in its entirety below, including fidelity to patients, respect for patient self- 15 determination, non-discrimination and informing the patient about all relevant options 16 for treatment, including options to which the physician morally objects, and information 17 regarding how to access such services. 18 19 AMA Code of Medical Ethics Opinion 1.1.7 20 Physicians are expected to uphold the ethical norms of their profession, including fidelity 21 to patients and respect for patient self-determination. Yet physicians are not defined 22 solely by their profession. They are moral agents in their own right and, like their 23 patients, are informed by and committed to diverse cultural, religious, and philosophical 24 traditions and beliefs. For some physicians, their professional calling is imbued with their 25 foundational beliefs as persons, and at times the expectation that physicians will put 26 patients’ needs and preferences first may be in tension with the need to sustain moral 27 integrity and continuity across both personal and professional life.

  • Glossary of Medical Ethics and Hospice Care

    Glossary of Medical Ethics and Hospice Care

    Center for Bioethics and Health Policy Glossary of Medical Ethics and Hospice Care Before defining the terms commonly used in medical ethics and hospice care, it might be reasonable to ask: What is medical ethics and how does ethics differ from morals? Morals relates to the principles of right and wrong behavior, i.e., a specific act is right or it is wrong, end of question: to murder is wrong. Ethics, on the other hand, is a system of moral principles that apply values and judgments to accepted professional standards of conduct. Medical ethics evolve/devolve, i.e., what may have been considered ethical behavior in the 19th century may not be considered ethical in the 21st century and vice versa, e.g., eugenics was accepted as ethical behavior in the early 20th century. The Tuskegee study was accepted from its inception in the mid 1930s until it was abruptly discontinued in 1972. Advanced Health Care Directive (Living Will) - a document in which a person gives advanced directions about medical care, or designates who should make medical decisions for the person if they should lose their decision making capacity, or both. There are two types: treatment directive (Living Will), and proxy/surrogate directives (Healthcare Power of Attorney). Allow Natural Death (Allow to Die) – involves the withholding or withdrawing of life- sustaining treatment that is judged by the patient or proxy to be excessively burdensome and/or of little or no benefit. It involves a decision to no longer prevent the underlying disease process or pathology to run its course. Assent – a concept that applies to minors and refers to their right to have their own perspective represented in all decision making about their health care.

    Swazo et al. Philosophy, Ethics, and Humanities in Medicine (2020) 15:7 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13010-020-00091-6 RESEARCH Open Access A Duty to treat? A Right to refrain? Bangladeshi physicians in moral dilemma during COVID-19 Norman K. Swazo1*, Md. Munir Hossain Talukder2 and Mohammad Kamrul Ahsan2 Abstract Background: Normally, physicians understand they have a duty to treat patients, and they perform accordingly consistent with codes of medical practice, standards of care, and inner moral motivation. In the case of COVID-19 pandemic in a developing country such as Bangladesh, however, the fact is that some physicians decline either to report for duty or to treat patients presenting with COVID-19 symptoms. At issue ethically is whether such medical practitioners are to be automatically disciplined for dereliction of duty and gross negligence; or, on the contrary, such physicians may legitimately claim a professional right of autonomous judgment, on the basis of which professional right they may justifiably decline to treat patients. Methods: This ethical issue is examined with a view to providing some guidance and recommendations, insofar as the conditions of medical practice in an under-resourced country such as Bangladesh are vastly different from medical practice in an industrialized nation such as the USA. The concept of moral dilemma as discussed by philosopher Michael Shaw Perry and philosopher Immanuel Kant’s views on moral appeal to “emergency” are considered pertinent to sorting through the moral conundrum of medical care during pandemic. Results: Our analysis allows for conditional physician discretion in the decision to treat COVID-19 patients, i.e., in the absence of personal protective equipment (PPE) combined with claim of duty to family.

  • Informed Consent

    Informed Consent

    AMA | JAMA Network | AMA Store Informed Consent Informed consent is more than simply getting a patient to sign a written consent form. It is a process of communication between a patient and physician that results in the patient's authorization or agreement to undergo a specific medical intervention. In the communications process, you, as the physician providing or performing the treatment and/or procedure (not a delegated representative), should disclose and discuss with your patient: The patient's diagnosis, if known; The nature and purpose of a proposed treatment or procedure; The risks and benefits of a proposed treatment or procedure; Alternatives (regardless of their cost or the extent to which the treatment options are covered by health insurance); The risks and benefits of the alternative treatment or procedure; and The risks and benefits of not receiving or undergoing a treatment or procedure. In turn, your patient should have an opportunity to ask questions to elicit a better understanding of the treatment or procedure, so that he or she can make an informed decision to proceed or to refuse a particular course of medical intervention. This communications process, or a variation thereof, is both an ethical obligation and a legal requirement spelled out in statutes and case law in all 50 states. Patient autonomy is the overarching ethical consideration that forms the core of informed consent. The AMA’s Code of Medical Ethics states that physicians must provide relevant information to their patients. The full disclosure of relevant information to patients is intended to protect each patient’s right to self-determination, bodily integrity, and to protect his or her voluntariness in the healthcare decisionmaking process.
