Here is a test description about the new JOE homepage. Our editorial mission is to help medical students, physicians, and all health care professionals make sound ethical decisions in service to patients and society. Founded in 1999, the AMA Journal of Ethics explores ethical questions and challenges that students and clinicians confront in their educational and practice careers.

Family medicine physician Alex McDonald, MD and Audiey Kao, MD, PhD, vice president of ethics at the AMA, discuss how ethical principles can help physicians and medical students navigate complex medical decisions, ensuring patient safety and well-being. He also explores the ethical implications of artificial intelligence in health care. This episode was created in collaboration with the PermanenteDocs Chat podcast, and is hosted by family physician Alex McDonald, MD.
