Modernizing the Code of Medical Ethics

Last Monday, the delegates AMA Annual Meeting attended an open forum by the Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs.  The topic of discussion was "At what point should physicians say “no” to their patients?"  

The delegates also discussed CEJA's project to modernize the AMA’s Code of Medical Ethics. “The Code needs to be user-friendly and organized in a way that you can put your finger on what you need, when you need it,” said Sharon Douglas, MD, who moderated the forum.
