No one may be both expert doctor and treating doctor for the same patient. A doctor must not accept a mission of expertise in which his own interests are at stake, or those of one of his patients, one of his relatives, one of his friends or a group that usually calls upon his services.
When entrusted with a mission, the medical expert must recuse himself if he considers that the questions put to him are not related to medical technique, to his knowledge, to his possibilities or that they would expose him to contravene the provisions of the present code of deontology.
Before undertaking any expert examination, the medical expert must inform the person he is to examine of his mission and the legal framework in which his opinion is sought.
In drafting his report, the medical expert must only reveal information that is likely to provide an answer to the questions asked. Outside these limits, he must not reveal anything that he may have learnt in the course of this expertise. He must certify that he has carried out his mission personally.
All doctors, when they are entered on the roll, must affirm before the Conseil Départemental de l’Ordre that they are aware of this Code of Deontology and undertake under oath and in writing to comply with it.
Any deliberately inaccurate or incomplete declaration made to the Medical Council by a doctor may give rise to disciplinary proceedings.
Any doctor who changes his or her conditions of practice or ceases to practise must notify the departmental council. The latter takes note of these changes and informs the national council.
Reasons must be given for all decisions taken by the Ordre des Médecins in application of this Code of Deontology. Any such decisions taken by the departmental councils may be amended or annulled by the national council either on its own initiative or at the request of the interested parties, which must be submitted within two months of notification of the decision.

The dental surgeon, in the service of the individual and of public health, carries out his mission with respect for life and the human person. It is his duty to assist the competent authorities in their efforts to protect health.
