Summary
This chapter provides an ethical framework for the identification and responsible management of conflicts of interest and conflicts of commitment.
The professionally responsible management of conflicts of interest and conflicts of commitment is essential for sustaining the three commitments of the ethical concept of medicine as a profession (see Chapter 1) and therefore for professional integrity.
