What is the Declaration of Professional Responsibility?
At its December 2001 Meeting, the AMA House of Delegates adopted the “Declaration of Professional Responsibility: Medicine’s Social Contract with Humanity,” a public reaffirmation of physicians’ dedication to the ideals and obligations of the profession. These ideals and obligations transcend physician roles and specialties, professional associations, geographic boundaries and political differences, uniting all physicians in a community of service to humankind.
