The following Professionalism in the Workplace for Healthcare Providers Training educates healthcare providers (HCP) on professionalism in healthcare. Historically, HCP have followed the Hippocratic Oath, however, in the 1990s professionalism became a foundational principle in the practice of medicine serving as “the basis of medicine’s contract with society.” Furthermore, the critical facets of professionalism have been further refined to include effective communication, availability, teamwork, self-awareness, respect, and technical and cognitive competence, all of which are important to recognize in your medical practice.

Moving from Values to Behaviors
In general, values are difficult to observe and measure. Likewise, the use of value phrases in feedback to students, residents, and colleagues can be intimidating and suggest character flaws. Many people believe that values are something they are born with or bring to their career, and they cannot be changed. In contrast, behaviors can be observed and measured. It is less intimidating to inform someone that they deviated from proper behavior in a certain situation. Also, it is simpler to specify exactly what has to be done, which makes it simpler for the individual to make the necessary corrections.
However, as the focus shifts from values to behaviors, the overall values are not lost. Good feedback shows not only what should be done, but why—which leads back to the value. Yet, by beginning with behaviors, educators gain more knowledge and the power to act on it.
