Medical Professionalism: Theory, Education, and Practice provides a comprehensive account of three tracks of medical professionalism - the conceptual, the teaching and assessment, and the practical - in a single resource from leading experts in the field. Innovatively it provides new perspectives on topics such as managing conscientious objections, social media use by physicians, physician resiliency and remediation, health law and environmental stewardship that have not previously been addressed specifically through the lens of medical professionalism. Part A focuses on the definitions, theoretical underpinnings, and scope of medical professionalism. Part B explores different ways to understand and educate for medical professionalism along the continuum of medical practice. Part C assesses various practice issues through the lens of medical professionalism. Finally, Part D assesses organizational issues through the lens of medical professionalism. It includes narrative prologues to each section, and a conclusion that assesses how technological innovations in health care create several tensions that the field of medical professionalism will need to address in the future. This book appeals to academics, medical students, bioethics students, health care administrators and managers, physicians, and health care researchers.
