Standards for professional medical conduct are set by the American Medical Assn (AMA) and enforced by the various state medical boards. There is a gap between reality and the standards of conduct which both physicians and the public have become aware of. The AMA is refocusing itself and becoming the leading advocate for good health care and the most pressing needs in the US health care system are being addressed.
