Title: AMA Code of Medical Ethics' Opinions Related to Human Trafficking
Abstract: The American Medical Association has a policy (H-65.966, “Physicians Response to Victims of Human Trafficking”) that specifically encourages its member groups to raise awareness about human trafficking. The policy states that “physicians should be aware of the definition of human trafficking and of resources available to help them identify and address the needs of victims” [1]. Although the Code of Medical Ethics does not explicitly address human trafficking, it addresses violent harm to patients more broadly.
