Medical School Ethics versus Business School Ethics?
Is there a difference?
In the evolutionary shifts in models for medical care, physicians have been asked to embrace business values of efficiency and cost effectiveness, sometimes at the expense of their professional judgment and personal values.

Ethics are a human topic. At the end the same ethics are valid for all kind of industries. Violations to ethics in Medical School may have more relevant consequences ("life or dead") than in companies in other industries, for this, the company has to invest more to think about ethics. Medicine and Business have to think about long-term values, so theoretically, ethics should be the same.
Medical School ethics have the included responsibility of "doing no harm" which is to be taken VERY SERIOUSLY and across a much BROADER and at the same time DETAILED spectrum. It requires a personal touch and/or connection to the patient. James Washin, D.P.M.
