Summary
The greatest difficulty in life is to make knowledge effective, to convert it into practical wisdom.
Sir William OslerThe challenge of teaching and learning professionalism has been highlighted by many authors. The increasing complexity of the practice of medicine, coupled with the entry of the state and corporate sector into the health care field, has drastically altered the relationship between the medical profession and the society it serves. At the same time, role modeling, the traditional method for transmitting professional values from one generation to the next, is no longer sufficient. Professionalism must be taught explicitly.
Despite consensus on the importance of teaching and learning professionalism, many clinical teachers are not able to articulate the attributes and behaviors characteristic of the physician as a professional. Many faculty members are also not sure of how to best teach and evaluate this content area and may not be serving as effective role models. As a result, faculty development is needed to ensure the successful teaching and learning of professionalism.
To date, the literature on faculty development designed to support the teaching and evaluation of professionalism is limited. The goal of this chapter is to outline the principles and strategies underlying faculty development programming in this area and to provide a case example from our own institution.
Faculty development refers to that broad range of activities institutions use to renew or assist faculty in their multiple roles.
