The Code of Ethics of the American College of Rheumatology, Inc. (the "ACR") applies to the entire ACR, including its Fellows, Members, Staff, and is enforceable solely by the ACR.
The primary purpose of this Code of Ethics is to support the ACR’s mission, which is to advance rheumatology. The ACR can succeed in this mission only if it maintains its reputation in the scientific and medical communities and with the general public as a credible, objective and unbiased force whose statements, activities and relationships are beyond reproach.
