Teaching Medical Professionalism - From Theory to Practice
There is general agreement that teaching medical professionalism requires a structured program that both communicates the nature of contemporary professionalism and specifically addresses the development of a professional identity, a gradual transformation through which students “come to think, act and feel like a physician”. This is facilitated through the process of socialization, which relies heavily upon role models and reflection on learned experiences. The Webinar will discuss the cognitive base of medical professionalism, linking it to medicine's social contract. It will attempt to present the theories of identity formation and socialization in order to assist medical educators in providing a learning environment which facilitates the development of a professional identity.
