External Organizations' Policy Statements and Other Reports
This list is intended to include some policies from other organizations. The dates indicate publication, revision or retirement. The order is alphabetical by title. These have not been endorsed by the AAP but may be of interest to some of us. As we find additional policies we will add them but this is not intended to be comprehensive. The Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs of the AMA also maintains policies.
