There has been a sea-change in dermatology in the last three decades.
Electronic communication, social networking, healthcare reform, the
changing reimbursement scene, consumerism and the business of medicine,
cosmetic dermatology and medical spas, and advances in genetic
technology, all give rise to new ethical concerns. These developments
combined with the frailties of human nature, to which physicians are not
exempt, underscore the need for ongoing teaching and dialogue on
contemporary issues in dermatologic ethics and professionalism. The
public, accrediting organizations, and physicians themselves recognize
the need for training resources in dermatology ethics and
professionalism. Dermatoethics; Contemporary Ethics and Professionalism
in Dermatology represents an analysis of real-life case scenarios that
is both practical and scholarly. Each chapter deals with a specific
topic by presenting one or more case vignettes pertinent to that topic.
These topics are relevant for those teaching in ethics, dermatology
trainees and practicing dermatologists in academia. The vignettes are
followed by a detailed analysis by the chapter author identifying
relevant contemporary trends as well as pertinent ethical principles.
This book is readable, contemporary, and thought-provoking, yet
scholarly and authoritative.
