(Help me..) What is medical professionalism? Medical professionalism is most important things of the concept that doctors must have. For a long time, many people have been pursuing what it is. I considered it in all its aspects. My idea is as shown below. First of all, I divided “medical professionalism” into “medical” and “professionalism” and considered how we should behave for each term. First, I’ll give my opinion on “medical”. “Medical”, that is, a healer has to have not only medical knowledge to cure patient’s body, but also consideration to other people to cure patient’s hearts. Of course, it is important for healers to cure patient’s body, but I think consideration to other people is as important as it. Even if patient’s body is cured, they may not be completely satisfied if we are unkind to them. Because, they can’t believe that their disease has been cured due to vulnerable relationship between patient and doctor. So, doctors must build trust with patients to get them to consent to treatment. Next, I’ll give my opinion on “professionalism”. I think that professions should contribute to society. The job description of doctor, lawyer, pilot and so on are too difficult for normal people to understand. Besides, they are essential for our lives. So, in regard to such jobs, people have to rely on professions. In other words, if professions didn’t work for the society, it would fall into disorder immediately. From these fact, it is duty that professions contribute to the society. Then, to be specific, what should professions do? I think that it is important to constantly renew knowledge and study in order to gain trust from the society. If each professional honors skills with responsibility for vocation, it is possible to build a good relationship of trust and obligation by gaining the trust of the general public. Putting two term’s interpretations together, we can see what medical professionalism is. The conclusion is as follows. For all doctors, being trusted from the society is the most important, which is gradually build up by consideration to patients for daily practice and very trained medical skills. So, I think the most important factor to become a medical professional is to build good relationships with patients and society.
