Description of CME Course

Physicians can be in a difficult position when faced with treating one’s friends, family, colleagues, or even oneself. Ethical challenges include concerns about professional objectivity, patient autonomy, and informed consent. As part of the Boundaries for Physicians series, this Code of Medical Ethics module describes why these types of relationships are problematic and should generally be avoided, while recognizing the limited circumstances when it is permissible to provide care.
