All physicians have a duty to uphold the core values of medicine and professionalism in their interactions with patients to preserve the trust foundational to the patient-physician relationship. They must be aware of and avoid interactions that are or may be perceived as of a sexual nature. The presence of a chaperone, particularly for intimate examinations, can help avoid misunderstanding and protect both the patient and the physician. ACP s Center for Ethics and Professionalism explores the topic of patient-physician interactions in their latest case study, Chaperones, Professional Boundaries, and the Potential for Misunderstandings.
