Guidelines & Consensus Statements for Healthcare Professionals

As the body responsible for education and maintaining standards, the Academy has taken the lead to issue to its members practice guidelines and consensus statements defining the criteria for the proper use of certain procedures and practices that involve high-technology medicine, and specifying the specialists who are qualified to perform them, the training they should have and the optimal facilities required.

• MOH CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES
• AMS CLINICAL GUIDELINES
• AMS CONSENSUS STATEMENTS
• OTHER GUIDELINES AND REPORTS

MOH clinical practice guidelines are considered automatically withdrawn five years after publication, or once an update has been issued, unless otherwise specified in individual guidelines. Users should keep in mind that evidence-based guidelines are only as current as the evidence that supports them and new evidence can supercede recommendations made in the guidelines.
