AMA Ethical Guidelines

The American Medical Association (AMA) Ethical Guidelines provide a framework for healthcare professionals to ensure they act in the best interests of patients and society. Key principles include respecting patient autonomy, ensuring informed consent, maintaining confidentiality, and promoting fairness in healthcare access. Additionally, these guidelines encourage physicians to engage in continuous education, uphold integrity, and advocate for public health. By following these ethical standards, healthcare providers aim to create a trustworthy and effective healthcare system that prioritizes patient welfare and ethical practice.
