Ethical and Legal Aspects of Health Care Practice is a working text and survey of legal and ethical issues intended for physician assistant (PA) students. The book covers various approaches to ethical analysis, illustrates their application through the use of cases, and surveys important substantive topics in the field of medical ethics, again with a focus on PAs in training. It is a work-text-a combination workbook-textbook-designed to help students work through the ethics of clinical cases. The reader is challenged to apply moral and ethical principles to make a substantive analysis of each case.
Grounded in more than 27 years of experience teaching medical ethics and legal medicine, the author presents a framework from which students can effectively analyze difficult and critical topics relevant to healthcare practice now and as laws evolve, an essential foundation in the principles and practice of medical ethics for any healthcare professional.
