	1.2	The Medical Staff shall observe the Patient's Bill of Rights and adhere to the Agreement of Professional Responsibility as appended hereto.

	1.3	Every member of the Medical Staff shall assist in the training of medical students and residents.
		1.3(a)	Patients have the right to be informed that a participant in a qualified medical education program is involved in their care.
