Description
The American Medical Association enacted its Code of Ethics in 1847, the first such national codification.
In this volume, a distinguished group of experts from the fields of medicine, bioethics, and history of medicine reflect on the development of medical ethics in the United States, using historical analyses as a springboard for discussions of the problems of the present, including what the editors call "a sense of moral crisis precipitated by the shift from a system of fee-for-service medicine to a system of fee-for-system medicine, better known as 'managed care.'" The authors begin with a look at how the medical profession began to consider ethical issues in the 1800s and subsequent developments in the 1900s.
They then address the sociological, historical, ethical, and legal aspects of the practice of medicine.
Later chapters discuss current and future challenges to medical ethics and professional values.
Appendixes display various versions of the AMA's Code of Ethics as it has evolved over time.
