Yet the White Paper on Pharmacy Student Professionalism says it is displaying values, beliefs and attitudes that put the needs of another about your personal needs. There is still another definition. The Medical Professionalism Project says professionalism is the basis of medicines contract with society. It demands placing the interests of patients above those of the physician, setting and maintaining standards of competence and integrity, and providing expert advice to society on matters of health.
The Medical Professionalism Project says this does not mean the public is not allowed to be involved. The definition of professionalism as set forth in the Medical Professionalism Foundation is vague, the definition of professionalism is ambiguous and the definition of professionalism as understood or discussed with one’s personal or professional family could be considered misleading or in breach of privacy for the professional. The Project points out that there are many professions and disciplines defined in professional societies, and there are often ways to improve it. The medical professional’s role will determine their work and activities for the duration of their job. The Project states that some ethical and legal principles guide some of the activities, some have the potential to be illegal, and some are just things that a professional should not. What is more, it says that if the physician or lab director is considered to be responsible for a medical condition, and if they are involved in it, they may have a right to compensation. If the physician is not at fault, the project states, he or she can sue for damages.
The Project says, if the health care professional was involved in professional misconduct, this would apply not only to him or her but to the whole body of society. It says the only way to end professional misconduct is to change the professional behavior altogether, to have it investigated under oath. In addition, it says that any action taken by the individual lawyer or the doctor in relation to professional matters may have consequences.

Professionalism is a set of behaviors that includes a particular way of speaking, writing, behaving, dressing, and acting. It is somewhat formal, perhaps slightly reserved and neutral. It does not have to be altogether sober or somber. Includes actions such as, accomplishes tasks or negotiates for more time. Is on time or has called ahead. Has done “homework” for meetings.
Unprofessional behavior: very informal, casual, slangy speech, not accomplishing tasks at work. Also popping/chewing gum, sitting on a desk and swinging your legs, grabbing something from someone, interrupting someone, yelling, being too personal in conversation (if someone doesnt feel good saying “whats wrong?” when its none of your business), not meeting deadlines, gossip, flirting, modes of dress depending on the corporate culture, burping out loud, poor table manners.
Unprof. Example: Leslie is in a business conversation with a coworker when Dana comes rushing over and interrupts, saying “That new hire is hot! Woohoo!” and pops gum, while letting the telephone ring unanswered.
Prof. Example: Leslie sees a coworker Dell, in the hall leaning against the wall, not feeling well. Leslie says, “Let me take you to lie down.” Takes Dell to room to lie down, asks if there is anyone to call, or any specific need. If not, leaves and calls the company nurse and makes sure nurse will check on Dell. May check in with Dell or the nurse later on, to be sure all is ok.
Does not ask sick person what the problem is and does not gossip about the event.Many practitioners are concerned about the standard of training for interpretation and currently attach more importance to work experience. Practitioners feel inadequately trained in some aspects of their work, such as project management, with isolation and lone working contributing to the problem. Many have difficulty keeping up with new technology and current thinking and find little opportunity for mid-career training to improve this situation. Education, training and professional development are all believed to strengthen interpretation as a profession and contribute to a reliable quality of output.
