Finally, an Ethical Framework for Academic Health Center Leaders

Some of the intrepid health care renewal bloggers just published an electronic letter in response to a nice article by Chervenak and McCullough in Academic Medicine. The article proposed an ethical framework for leaders of academic health centers (AHCs), and is definitely worth reading. Our comment was that it was disturbing that this article, as its introduction pointed out, was the first ever to propose that these leaders should need such an ethical framework.
