While most physicians take part in a medical school oath ceremony, only 26 percent said the oath they took significantly influenced their practice of medicine or provided medical ethical guidance, notes American Medical News. Nearly all physician respondents (more than 90 percent) cited their "personal sense of wrong and right" as their professional moral compass. And just 16 percent noted the American Medical Association Code of Medical Ethics. As a result, the AMA Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs is restructuring its code to identify gaps in policy and make it easier to apply to medical careers, notes Amed News. Article
