What is Medical Professionalism?

Medical professionalism is the ethical and moral framework that applies to all healthcare practitioners, guiding their conduct in interactions with patients, colleagues, and society. It encompasses values such as integrity, competence, respect, and altruism, promoting ethical behavior, effective communication, accountability, and continuous learning. Practitioners across the healthcare spectrum adhere to these principles to ensure high-quality care, trust, and the well-being of patients and the healthcare system.
