Many of today’s physicians and specialists are finding it difficult to provide high quality care due to various ethical challenges in the current political and organizational environment.

From the pressures of private equity to the legislative and legal interference in the practice of medicine, physicians and specialists are forced to navigate new constraints amidst legal, ethical and personal moral decisions.

The featured panelists, along with moderator Richard E. Hawkins, MD, ABMS President and Chief Executive Officer, will look at this issue from two perspectives: what they as individuals are experiencing and how they are addressing this in their own interactions as well as from an organizational level.
