Outline of my talk • Development of professionalism across different professions • Developing and assessing behavioural competencies • Professionalism and Fitness to Practice • Creating a culture of professionalism
Emergence of Professionalism in the Health Profession • GDC - Learning Outcomes 2011 • Medicine - GMC • Tomorrow’s Doctors 2009- The doctor as a scholar and a scientist, the doctor as a practitioner, the doctor as a professional • Health Professions Council and Nursing and Midwifery (e.g. HPC Professionalism in Healthcare Professions 2012) • Vets RCVS – Guide to professional conduct for Veterinary Surgeons
Emergence of Professionalism Across Professions • Management and Business • Recent programme in Healthcare Management– professionalism component • Interest in the management literature about teaching ethical behaviour and professionalism– towards a code of conduct and “Hippocratic oath”? • Engineering, Law, - more about employability and client relations
Assessing Attitudes and Behaviour • Difficult/ impossible to measure attitudes - disputed • Can measure: • Expressions of belief and behavioural intentions • Behavioural responses, physiological responses • Skills • Observable behaviour
Assessment Tools Professionalism portfolios 360 degree feedback and appraisal OSCEs Mini- CEX Simulation Reflective writing/portfolios Personality type inventories e.g. Myers Briggs
What to include in your professionalism curriculum • Define your own outcomes • Meeting GDC requirements • Discuss with faculty, students and patients • Think about including leadership, team working, communication , teaching • Don’t define “professionalism” in terms of FTP
Setting a culture of Professionalism You are your students’ greatest role models The hidden curriculum Leadership in the Dental School should model professionalisms behaviour Changing and influencing faculty behaviour Don’t condone minor lapses in professional behaviour by your students because it is easier Remember true professionalism is doing the right thing even when know one is looking.
