Medical ethics principles provide a framework for healthcare professionals to prioritize patients’ well-being, dignity, and trust. However, the multitude of guidelines from different organizations can create confusion about essential rules. Understanding the origins and systematic application of medical ethics principles helps us develop a defensible hierarchy for prioritizing these principles. This model provides coordinated, cost-effective, and high-quality health care. Ethics serve as the guiding principles for healthcare professionals, ensuring that they prioritize their patients’ well-being, treat patients with dignity and respect, and foster trust and confidence in the healthcare system.Understanding the origins of and a way to apply medical ethics principles systematically will help healthcare professionals develop a defensible hierarchy or algorithm for prioritizing the principles from among these various organizations’ guidelines. This activity discusses the current understanding of the origins and development of medical ethics and emphasizes the pivotal role of interdisciplinary teams in applying these principles to patient care. Through collaborative learning, participants gain insights into navigating ethical dilemmas effectively within an interprofessional team. By integrating diverse perspectives, healthcare professionals can make well-informed decisions that prioritize patient welfare while respecting their autonomy and dignity.
