Shaping professionalism in pre-clinical medical students: Professionalism and the practice of medicine
Medical Teacher, 07/28/09

Elliott DD et al. – This is a description of the process undertaken over the past 7 years to develop and implement a professionalism curriculum. The authors used the conceptual framework of constructivism, principles of adult learning, experiential learning and reflective practice to integrate learning with experience. The authors included student input in session development. Faculty mentors serve as role models to guide, assist and counsel students. Assessment of learners is accomplished using self, peer and mentor evaluation, and a student portfolio. Program evaluation is by course and faculty evaluation. Students are given a final grade of pass or fail, together with a brief narrative. Course evaluations were positive. A survey questionnaire showed that more than 60% of the students reported gaining skills related to course goals.
