As part of the Boundaries for Physicians series, this Code of Medical Ethics module offers guidance on how to maintain boundaries with patients in circumstances such as discussing political matters, charitable contributions, accepting gifts, and using social media. Learn the risks involved with violating these professional boundaries and how to properly maintain such boundaries.
