Doctors of BC Position: Professional autonomy of physicians is integral to the provision of patient care and to a well-functioning health care system. Principles of professional autonomy for physicians include the ability of physicians to engage in self regulation, the ability to utilize professional judgement in clinical decision making, and the ability for physicians to advocate on issues of quality, patient safety, and health system planning/improvement. Doctors of BC encourages partners in health care delivery to recognize, support, and protect these fundamental principles.
