Code of Ethics for EMS Physician Medical Directors.

Code of Ethics for EMS Physician Medical Directors. Prehosp Emerg Care. 2020 Aug 13;:1-3 Authors: Berry BC, Williams KA, Yee A, Wesley AK, Sirmons K, Lawner BJ Abstract EMS Medical Directors are physicians who have a responsibility to the public, EMS practitioners, and to health care systems. However, there is currently no accepted Code of Ethics for EMS Medical Directors, and existing Codes of Ethics for physicians do not address the unique responsibilities of EMS Medical Directors. Therefore, the following document was crafted by a working group representing the National Association of State EMS Officials, the National EMS Physician Association, and the Air Medical Physician Association, and approved by their respective organizations for promulgation as an EMS Physician Code of Ethics.
