Using a Scenario-Based Approach to Teaching Professionalism to Medical Students: Course Description and Evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Doctors play a key role in individuals' lives undergoing a holistic integration into local communities. To maintain public trust, it is essential that professional values are upheld by both doctors and medical students. We aimed to ensure that students appreciated these professional obligations during the 3-year science-based, preclinical course with limited patient contact.

Objective

We developed a short scenario-based approach to teaching professionalism to first-year students undertaking a medical course with a 3-year science-based, preclinical component. We aimed to evaluate, both quantitatively and qualitatively, student perceptions of the experience and impact of the course.

Methods

An interactive professionalism course entitled Entry to the Professio
