Description

<p>The Professionalism subcommittee of Japan Society for Medical Education has been examining a diverse range of issues related to medical professionalism education for approximately the past 20 years. In July 2015, the committee formulated and presented a draft on “ The Attributes and Competencies of Physicians: An Exploration of Professionalism” Based on this, we have been conducting educational activities on professionalism education, but we had not documented this draft. We are now re-presenting the draft here with minor lexical corrections and additional notes. The professionalism of physicians is delineated in seven attributes and competencies :</p><p>1. Sense of mission and responsibility towards society</p><p>2. Practice of patient-centered health care</p><p>3. Demonstration of integrity and justice</p><p>4. Acceptance of diverse values and sharing of fundamental values</p><p>5. Fulfilling roles as leaders/members in organizations and teams</p><p>6. Pursuit of excellence and lifelong learning</p><p>7. Self-management and career development</p><p>This document is presented with the expectation that it will contribute to future discussions on professionalism education.</p>
