Professionalism has a basis in individual characteristics and values, but is also largely defined by context. Its definition varies with a number of factors, including organizational support, the workplace, the expectations of others, and the specifics of each service user / patient encounter1.

Most research done on professionalism in healthcare or any other field is how to be professional and what not to do. When professionalism is displayed in the healthcare field, and outside of it, it results in many benefits to the workers and the patients.

The consequences may not even be immediate, but there are always consequences of unprofessional behavior.…

Personally, I think that therapy should be required before pursuing a professional career as a therapist. During my groups discussion, I was surprised to hear that this was not in favor for some people. Although, being able to gain more insight on both the pros and cons of therapy before professionalism in the field was very beneficial. I believe that there is also something to say about being able to promote the very profession that you are experienced in. If an individual does not desire to go through therapy themselves, why would they desire to provide therapy for others?…

A dilemma that I experienced has to do with my place of work at ABC. In 2002 I had a values conflict that had to do with my job situation. My company had hired a new director for our accounts payable department in 1997. His name was MB.MB was a financial director from Coca Cola with a bachelor's degree in Accounting/Finance. For several years, MB had held strategic positions and his fame increased with great accomplishments, and was recognized as one of the best director in our company. He was gifted in many areas as procurement direct for payables. He had a tremendous leadership skill and was a role model. He managed the accounting department and brought productivity up to speed. In 200 2 MB was nominated as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Prior to his appointment our CEO A H had an interview with him to make sure that he was the right candidate for this position. After his interview with our CEO, Walter ordered a security clearance screening to be done on MB to make sure that there were no skeletons in the closet. Shortly after his interview, human resources had completed a background and security screening on MB. Our human resources personnel Stacy had called for his college transcripts as well. And they discovered that MB had not graduated from Accounting, despite the fact that this was listed on his resume. Our human resources director Stacy contacted MB to ask him about this discrepancy, and he immediately confirmed that he had not graduated.

To elaborate on this prompt, I will highlight several key qualities I believe are essential in defining professionalism as a doctor of physical therapy degree student. The first aspect, which I believe to be the most important, is communication. My conviction is that every single student requires it in both their education, as well as in their career. A student should be able to express their ideas clearly, both verbally and in the written word. They should be aware of all aspects of what they are communicating like using the appropriate body language and listening well to others in order to foster a positive learning environment. A student should be able to communicate well with clinicians, peers and eventually with patients. In my personal experience as a PT volunteer at South Nassau Communities Hospital I have seen the importance of communication play out. The therapists that I observe have to communicate with medical doctors, nurses, their peers and the social workers of each patient that they see. When this is not done properly the patients care is immediately compromised, and that is never…
