Dr. Ramesh Sachdeva's profile

AMA Releases Code of Ethics 8th Edition

A longtime public health professional and medical administrator, Dr. Ramesh Sachdeva serves as an associate executive director of the American Academy of Pediatrics in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. Throughout his career, Dr. Ramesh Sachdeva has maintained membership in the American Medical Association (AMA).

According to a recent press release, the AMA recently completed an eight-year project to modernize and condense its Code of Medical Ethics into a more accessible, more relevant, more consistent, and easier-to-navigate publication. The new book can be purchased from the AMA online store in either hardcover or e-book format.

The updated edition includes more comprehensive guidance for physicians faced with the ever-changing demands of the industry. Over the last 140 years, it has remained the seminal document for practicing physicians throughout the country, regularly employed in medical journals, legal opinions, and even news pieces. Now in its eighth iteration, the book serves as the definitive ethics resource for both physicians and medical students.
