TECHNICAL REPORT

Professionalism in Pediatrics

Mary E. Fallat, MD, Jacqueline Glover, PhD and the Committee on Bioethics

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this report is to provide a concrete overview of the ideal standards of behavior and professional practice to which pediatricians should aspire and by which students and residents can be evaluated. Recognizing that the ideal is not always achievable in the practical sense, this document details the key components of professionalism in pediatric practice with an emphasis on core professional values for which pediatricians should strive and that will serve as a moral compass needed to provide quality care for children and their families.

Key Words: professionalism • pediatricians • physician-patient relations • medical student • resident

Abbreviations: ABP—American Board of Pediatrics • AAP—American Academy of Pediatrics • AMA—American Medical Association • HIPAA—Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
