Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical professionalism comprises a set of values, behaviours and relationships that underpin the trust the public has in doctors. This report describes the nature and role of medical professionalism at a time when our healthcare system is undergoing enormous change. Whilst a lack of professionalism is harmful to patient care, the political and cultural environment of health can hamper its exercise. The proposed entry of multiple healthcare providers, the wish for a more equal engagement between patients and professionals, and the burgeoning contribution of science to clinical practice, all impact on medical professionalism. These were among the factors that provided the impetus for the redefinition and description of medical professionalism set out in this report. The report's definition and description have implications across the whole spectrum of medicine. However, six major themes emerged where medical professionalism will have significant implications. These are: leadership, team working, education, career pathways, appraisal and research. Each of these themes carries recommendations directed to national agencies with an essential part to play in taking them forward. [Ed.]

Download or read book The Medical Profession and Society written by George C. Shattuck and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Medical Profession and Society: The Annual Discourse Before the Massachusetts Medical Society, May 30, 1866 Our responsibilities are great, and each one of us in his solitary round, as well as at these times of reunion for counsel and refreshment, must realize more or less vividly the arduousness and difficulties of his calling, as well as his need of support and encouragement. We have this year appropriated more time to the objects which bring us together. Scientific papers and communications are encouraged by an assurance that they will not be crowded out by matters of business and routine. There is no longer one address or one speaker, in which and by whom such subjects are presented. Hours have been assigned for written communications on matters pertaining to our science and our art, and hence your attention may now with propriety be invited to some thoughts on our professional duties and relations, the subject of the annual address nineteen years ago, by one beloved and esteemed in his day, whom the present speaker must be content to follow here as elsewhere, at an humble distance. One of our trials is that of intercourse with many who, from ignorance or wilfulness, despise our profession and treat it with disrespect and insult. We are living in an age and a community where authority is misunderstood and set at nought, where the individual feels himself called upon to treat lightly the conclusions and experience of the past, and to investigate and decide anew on most important questions and interests.

Download or read book The Changing Medical Profession written by Frederic W. Hafferty and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As nations across the globe face the rising tide of health care costs and the prospect of massive changes in the organization and financing of health care, many are questioning the future of medicine as a profession. Issues include: the evolving structure of physician autonomy, changes in the nature of the physician-patient relationship, shifts in the status of state-professional relations, and ultimately the reconceptualization of medicine and its place in society. The Changing Medical Profession brings together twenty-one noted medical sociologists and public health experts to assess the changing status of the medical profession in fourteen countries around the world. The book is organized in three broad sections: a detailed treatment of the theoretical questions and debates being addressed by the work as a whole, case studies of individual countries illustrating the book's major themes, and three chapters of review and discussion, each stressing different perspectives regarding the lessons that international trends and variations hold for analysts of the medical professions. There is no other book like this available today. Its theoretical grasp and international approach to this important health care topic makes it indispensable to anyone with an interest in the future of health care and the professions.

Download or read book The Rise of the Medical Profession written by Noel Parry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1976 The Rise of the Medical Profession combines a sociological and historical approach to the rise of the medical profession in England. Sociologically it offers a theoretical framework which for the first time links the study of social mobility and professionalism with the theory of stratification. Historically, it examines the movement which led to the unification of the medical profession arising from effective social organisation among the surgeon-apothecaries in the early nineteenth century. It demonstrates that through the successful pursuit of the occupational strategy of professionalism the doctors have been able to raise their income and status in the community and to dominate the institutions and organisations of medical care. In their relationship with the state, they have been generally successful in securing a recognition of their privileged position. The future of the medical profession and of professionalism is discussed in the context of the changing balance between state power and that of free private occupation associations, whether of the type based on professionalism or unionism. The ideal-type conception of the middle class as essentially individualistic is challenged by the exploration of middle class collective action, particularly professionalism.
Download or read book Licensed to Practice written by James C. Mohr and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2013-11-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did American doctors come to be licensed on the terms we now take for granted? Licensed to Practice begins with an 1891 shooting in Wheeling, West Virginia, that left one doctor dead and another on trial for his life. Formerly close friends, the doctors had fallen out over the issue of medical licensing. Historian James C. Mohr calls the murder “a sorry personal consequence of the far larger and historically significant battle among West Virginia’s physicians over the future of their profession.” Through most of the nineteenth century, anyone could call themselves a doctor and could practice medicine on whatever basis they wished. But an 1889 U.S. Supreme Court case, Dent v. West Virginia, effectively transformed medical practice from an unregulated occupation to a legally recognized profession. The political and legal battles that led up to the decision were unusually bitter—especially among physicians themselves—and the outcome was far from a foregone conclusion. So-called Regular physicians wanted to impose their own standards on the wide-open medical marketplace in which they and such non-Regulars as Thomsonians, Botanics, Hydropaths, Homeopaths, and Eclectics competed. The Regulars achieved their goal by persuading the state legislature to make it a crime for anyone to practice without a license from the Board of Health, which they controlled. When the high court approved that arrangement—despite constitutional challenges—the licensing precedents established in West Virginia became the bedrock on which the modern American medical structure was built. And those precedents would have profound implications. Thus does Dent, a little-known Supreme Court case, influence how Americans receive health care more than a hundred years after the fact.
Download or read book Principles of Medical Professionalism written by Gia Merlo and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Geneva Declaration, a modern successor to the Hippocratic Oath, was recently revised to include the clause "I will attend to my own health, well-being, and abilities in order to provide care of the highest standard." As the practice of medicine enters the modern era, a combination of disruptive factors, including the increased use of electronic health records and changes to the US healthcare system, have left physicians struggling to find happiness in their careers. Principles of Medical Professionalism emphasizes an often-neglected aspect of medical professionalism: how and why physicians ought to focus on their self-care, happiness, and well-being as they advance through the process of socialization into the medical community of practice. This book will help students manage their expectations about the profession while becoming more resilient to the disruptions in the field and equip health professionals of all levels with the practical knowledge and tools to integrate the values of medical professionalism into their professional identity. Ultimately, this book aims to empower physicians to transform their patient care in a way that incorporates an attention to healing, caring, and compassion while upholding a duty to serve the patient and society.
Download or read book Health Professions Education written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute of Medicine study Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) recommended that an interdisciplinary summit be held to further reform of health professions education in order to enhance quality and patient safety. Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality is the follow up to that summit, held in June 2002, where 150 participants across disciplines and occupations developed ideas about how to integrate a core set of competencies into health professions education. These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system.
