Ln 1993, the American Association of Electrodiagnostic Medicine formed an Ethics and Peer Review Committee in concert with a renewed initiative by organized medicine to emphasize ethical standards. Guidelines for ethical behavior relating to clinical practice issues in electrodiagnostic medicine were developed to formalize the standards of professional behavior for electrodiagnostic medical consultants and were approved by the AAEM Board of Directors in April 1994. The guidelines are modeled after the Code of Professional Conduct of the American Academy of Neurology and are consistent with the Guidelines in Electrodiagnostic Medicine of the American Association of Electrodiagnostic Medicine and Principles of Medical Ethics as adopted by the American Medical Association. The Guidelines may provide grounds for discipliary action under Article X of the AAEM Bylaws.
