New ethics case study on MedscapeCME

A new case study in the ACP professionalism case studies series, "To Be or Not to Be: Should I Serve as an Expert Witness?" is now available on Medscape for CME credit. The study provides guidance for physicians participating as expert witnesses in legal cases.

The ACP Ethics Case Studies use hypothetical examples to elaborate on controversial or subtle aspects of issues not addressed in detail in ACP's Ethics Manual, the Physician Charter on Professionalism, and other ACP position statements. Other studies in the series, which was introduced on Medscape last September, focus on criteria for authorship and considerations for ending the patient-physician relationship.

Additional ethics resources, including the ACP Ethics Manual and the Physician Charter on Professionalism, are available online.
