Bioethics for clinicians.

The author introduces the Bioethics for Clinicians series, which begins in this issue with an article on patient consent to medical care (see pages 177 to 180). This 14-part series is intended to elucidate key concepts in bioethics and to help clinicians to integrate bioethical knowledge into daily practice. In educational terms, the goal is to support performance: what clinicians actually do.
