In this episode, Dr. Paul Ford from the Center for Bioethics at the Cleveland Clinic, have a conversation about the article, “Four Models of the Physician-Patient Relationship,” by Ezekiel Emanuel and Linda Emanuel, which first appeared in The Journal of the American Medical Association in the September 1992 issue. We analyze the relevance of the four models in health care today, as well as when, and to what extent, physicians and other health professionals should aim to emulate these or other developed models. We also discuss the role that one’s conception of autonomy plays in adopting a particular model.
