Abstract:
Effective education in medicine and other health sciences commonly relies on the use of clinical cases. This enables learners to advance their understanding of complex clinical problems. It also allows experienced clinicians to impart their knowledge of unusual problems or innovative approaches. Can the use without consent of private patient information be justified? This article reviews the practitioner's obligations toward confidentiality, and examines the ethical issues involved with the non-clinical use of information about patients. Strategies for ensuring sound ethical standards are recommended.
