title: Directors' and officers' liability.
abstract: Charities or business associations frequently ask physicians--due to their status in the community--to serve as directors or officers. Just as frequently, physicians agree to serve in those positions without fully understanding the responsibilities and possible liabilities they are assuming. This article describes the duties of directors and officers and the liabilities associated with the job.
