Now in its sixth edition, "Medical Law, Ethics, and Bioethics for Ambulatory Care" continues to champion the "Have a Care" cause while providing readers with a strong ethical and legal foundation to better serve their clients.

This book provides that and provides a solid groundwork for ambulatory care as it pertains to legal concepts and laws, ethical issues, and bioethics faced in today's medical practices - by today's health care professionals.
