A presentation on professionalism in medicine, by students.
At the root of professionalism is our profession. A profession requires acquisition and application of a body of knowledge and technical skills. The individuals in a profession are bound together by a shared commitment. Members of a profession regulate themselves. In medicine, physicians regulate themselves through state medical boards, as well as hospital committees and other peer-review groups. Those in a profession practice in accord with a code of ethics. Finally, a profession has a contract with society.
In a patient encounter, we consider a right and good healing action for that patient in his or her particular circumstances.
A right healing action is one informed by scientific and clinical evidence.
A good action, in contrast, takes into account the patient's values and preferences and is consistent with the physician's own clinical judgment.
Abstract
Charities, governments and other funders of research must prioritise the areas in which they allocate research funding. An old but unresolved issue, is the weight that should be given to questions that the general public feel need urgent answers. Other groups remind us of the unsolved pressing issues of the developing world and the responsibility we have developing preventive measures and treatments for tropical and orphan diseases.
This keynote lecture, delivered by Professor Martin Bobrow, will introduce us to some considerations relating to science funding in this. Should global disease priorities, achievability of research goals or research quality be guiding funding allocation? As a society, do we need ethical guidelines that would drive future research agendas? Are these guidelines more urgently needed in recession times?
