Modern medical practice ice is couched in a morally pluralistic society; it is a complex endeavor, often juxtaposing clinicians’ professional, ethical, and legal obligations. Because clinical judgments involve so much more than clear-cut, straightforward forward diagnoses and treatments, modern medical practice addresses this complexity by organizing healthcare teams. It is imperative that other healthcare specialists become part of a patient’s care team, supporting an interdependent robust decision-making process based on the patient’s condition, preferences, and values.
