One of the most important issues in medical law is the issue of physician responsibility. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between belief in each of the physician's responsibilities towards the patient and responsibility. The research method is library and descriptive-correlation. An examination of various sources shows that there are four perspectives on the physician's responsibility to the patient. The results show that there is a positive correlation between the components of responsibility and physician responsibility perspectives, which are significant at the level of 0.01. Findings indicate that views 1 and 3 are more correlated with physicians' responsibility than other views. The degree of correlation between the dimensions of responsibility with the views that consider more responsibility for physicians is greater.
