Professional Self-Regulation in Medicine
Anthony P. Weiss, Barak D. Richman
Abstract
Medicine has a longstanding compact with society to prioritize the needs of patients above other aims, a concept as old as the Hippocratic Oath. As an extension of this professional commitment, physicians have been granted the discretion and authority to police their own -to establish professional standards of conduct and to enforce those standards in the practice of medicine against fellow professionals.
