The study looks at the challenges physicians face when they become caregivers for their own family members.
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, or other ACP position statements. Other studies in the series, which was introduced in September 2009, focus on physician work stoppages, serving as an expert witness, 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.
