In this study, the files that were judged by Disciplinary Committe of Izmir Medical Chamber (DC) were investigated. The aim of the study was to assess the cases which concerns the body of current law of medical ethics, and the sociodemographic features of physicians involved. All 168 files in the Disciplinary Committe archive were covered. It could be claimed that the number of files were quite low. The main complainant was Izmir Medical Chamber. The vast majority of physicians who have been sentenced by DC were specialists, and have their own clinic. Gynaecology and Obstetric specialists ranked first among the sentenced physicians. It was calculated that percent of specialists and percent of private sector physicians in files were significantly higher compared to the general practitioners and physicians who work in the public institutions in Izmir (p<0.001). The most frequent seen cases were related with advertisement regulations, unjustifiable benefit and not to respect and give proper care for health and life.Keywords: Medical ethics, Turkish Medical Association, Disciplinary CommitteeTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Ethics-Hukuku-Tarihi 2002, 10:202-213
