APPD / ABP Guide to Professionalism
The APPD and American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) partnered to create a resource guide for the key competency of professionalism. The guide includes cases, resources and contents as shown below.
Annually, program directors are asked by the American Board of Pediatrics to determine whether each resident in their program has met expectations in the area of professional conduct. In addition, the program director must certify that the resident has achieved competence in professionalism at the end of training in order for the resident to be eligible to take the certifying examination.
This workbook was created in order to help program directors address 3 key questions:
- What are the important elements of professionalism?
- How can expectations regarding professional conduct be communicated to residents?
- What methods are appropriate for assessing professionalism during residency training?
