Its purpose is to foster greater awareness and sensitivity among its target readership regarding ethical issues encountered in everyday clinical settings, while equipping them with a practical framework to address conflicts and dilemmas. In addition, the book explores the full scope of medical professionalism from the perspective of altruism, in contrast to self-interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe content encompasses not only a robust theoretical foundation in ethics but also 101 clinical cases drawn from the authors’ daily practice and reflecting patient care experiences worldwide. The authors consider that Medical and Surgical Ethics must rest on solid ethical concepts and include a working knowledge of Medical Law and Human Rights. The cases and vignettes are designed to stimulate discussion and can serve as a framework for role‑playing exercises, pro\/con debates, and educational assignments, thereby facilitating the development of competencies and learning outcomes. They may also be used as catalysts for reflection on one’s own clinical experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEthics in Medicine and Surgery – A Case‑Based Framework for Teaching and Learning\u003c\/em\u003e seeks to cultivate, in new generations of physicians, surgeons, trainees, and medical students, the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and virtues regarded as essential to guiding professional conduct and ethical decision‑making in everyday clinical practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlberto R Ferreres, MD, PhD, JD, MPH, FACS (Hon.)\u003c\/strong\u003e received his medical degree “summa cum laude” from the University of Buenos Aires School of Medicine, where he also completed his residence in General Surgery and a fellowship in Surgical Oncology.
