It has never suffered from a shortage of innovation or of innovators, and thus new treatments and therapeutic options are regularly being introduced. Who is best to perform or prescribe new, therapeutic options and their implementation in a responsible manner is controversial. In this chapter, we will review accreditation, credentialing, and the relevant training involved in the United States (Table 26-1). In addition, new product implementation will be discussed within an ethical framework. As part of the larger medical profession, FPMRS shares a commitment to professionalism that demands certain standards of safety and aims to achieve exemplary levels of care. The challenge lies in where safety and exemplary cross, and in implementing the two, we make practical our commitment to the profession and its embodiment.
