Professionalism: Ethics and A Code of Conduct

​Arguably the biggest reason for the success for medicine has been the ethic of service, of placing a duty to care above personal reward. This seminar will explore what are the sufficient and necessary conditions of defining a professional identity. These conditions include expertise and accountability, rights and responsibilities, as well as rules and norms. We will probe the social contract and the implications of self-regulation.


The distinction between ethics and the law will be clarified – Ethics being universal and exceeding legal requirements while the law limited by justification and enforced by negative sanctions. The session with conclude with a discussion on the healthcare provider – patient relationship, how this relationship is founded on trust and fiduciary nature of the partnership.


After the lecture, participants will be able to:


  • Understand the elements of professionalism
  • Understand the social contract
  • Distinguish legal obligations from ethical obligations
  • Appreciate the value and role of trust in the clinical relationship
