A dialogue on resistance and its place in the curriculum
I have been asked to record some thoughts and comments for the Colloquy section of this Journal in response to an article entitled ‘The ethical foundations of professional resistance’ by Ellaway an...
Role boundaries and complex health systems
Health professions practice is becoming increasingly complex with a rapid growth in knowledge and technology, as well as increasing specialization and sub‐specialization within and between health professions. This has resulted in a blurring of the lines of expertise and professional responsibility in health care delivery. In addition, instability in the funding and regulation of education, research and health care has resulted in frequent shifts …
Medical competence as a multilayered construct
Clinical Teachers’ Perceptions of Their Role in Professional Identity Formation
PURPOSE: A fundamental goal of medical education is supporting learners in forming a professional identity. While it is known that learners perceive clinical teachers to be critically important in this process, the latter's perspective is unknown. This study sought to understand how clinical teachers perceive their influence on the professional identity formation of learners. METHOD: In 2017, a research assistant conducted 16 semistructured inter…
Supporting the development of a professional identity
While teaching medical professionalism has been an important aspect of medical education over the past two decades, the recent emergence of professional identity formation as an important concept has led to a reexamination of how best to ensure that medical graduates come to "think, act, and feel like a physician." If the recommendation that professional identity formation as an educational objective becomes a reality, curricular change to suppor…
Medicine as a Community of Practice
The presence of a variety of independent learning theories makes it difficult for medical educators to construct a comprehensive theoretical framework for medical education, resulting in numerous and often unrelated curricular, instructional, and assessment practices. Linked with an understanding of identity formation, the concept of communities of practice could provide such a framework, emphasizing the social nature of learning. Individuals wis…
Amending Miller’s Pyramid to Include Professional Identity Formation
In 1990, George Miller published an article entitled "The Assessment of Clinical Skills/Competence/Performance" that had an immediate and lasting impact on medical education. In his classic article, he stated that no single method of assessment could encompass the intricacies and complexities of medical practice. To provide a structured approach to the assessment of medical competence, he proposed a pyramidal structure with four levels, each of w…
A Schematic Representation of the Professional Identity Formation and Socialization of Medical Students and Residents
Recent calls to focus on identity formation in medicine propose that educators establish as a goal of medical education the support and guidance of students and residents as they develop their professional identity. Those entering medical school arrive with a personal identity formed since birth. As they proceed through the educational continuum, they successively develop the identity of a medical student, a resident, and a physician. Each indivi…
Reframing Medical Education to Support Professional Identity Formation
Teaching medical professionalism is a fundamental component of medical education. The objective is to ensure that students understand the nature of professionalism and its obligations and internalize the value system of the medical profession. The recent emergence of interest in the medical literature on professional identity formation gives reason to reexamine this objective. The unstated aim of teaching professionalism has been to ensure the de…

The Medical Profession and Self-Regulation
The medical profession has the responsibility and obligation in effective self-regulation to ensure the competence of practicing physicians, identifying and taking action against problem physicians, and regulating conflicts of interest. Virtual Mentor is a monthly bioethics journal published by the American Medical Association
Professionalism and Medicine's Social Contract with Society
The social contract, an idea derived from political science, has recently come to be used to describe the relationship between the medical profession and the society which it serves [1-5]. Medicine's contract with society has always been more implicit than explicit. It functioned reasonably well when both medicine and society were relatively homogeneous, sharing many values. Medicine knew what society expected of both individual physicians and of…
