Background: Professionalism means understanding a profession and introducing it to the society through professional behaviors. In particular in clinical settings, constructive feedback is provided in education to create professional behaviors.Objectives: This study aimed to investigate giving feedback on professionalism in clinical education.Methods: A narrative review was conducted in PubMed and Google Scholar on the publications over the last 10 years. Eight hundred twenty-six articles were found in the first step, among which 30 were handed over to the expert panel. Fifteen of 30 articles were finally selected.Results: The data of the studies were in four categories: feedback techniques, feedback in. curriculum, the scope of feedback, and feedback outcome. Feedback on professionalism was mostly presented through online services, portfolio, video-based systems, by a preceptor or peers, longitudinally in internship courses, and Multi Source Feedback (360 degree). In a study, feedback on professionalism was considered formally in the curriculum. Educational experts give both formative and summative feedback (most of which were formative). Based on the literature, feedback can enhance learning professionalism, curriculum reforms, system support, student comfort, evaluations, and efficacy of professionalism.Conclusion: Multi-Source feedback assessment was the most used tool for giving feedback in professionalism, and the most popular form was informal-formative feedback. Since professionalism is a multidimensional concept related to personal communication, multi-source tools have been the most commonly used in the literature.

Background: Medical education professionally requires the development of analytical and diagnostic thinking skills, not just accumulation. It used to help the student from exposure to real estate problems by developing analytical skills.Objectives: This case study reports the process of design and educational outcome of teaching medical etiquette from new student–center strategies by art.Methods: In this experience, the educational process started during the two courses of medical etiquette courses and is performed every semester from 2018. Combination casebased/ scenario-based teaching with art in education in traditional and virtual conditions during three concurrent years was a unique experience to teaching medical etiquette courses.Results: As a result, this program created fun, engagement, different teaching of lessons in interaction with teamwork, rethinking in performance, and student’s excitement and motivation in presenting the students’ learning products.Conclusion: This process is an active cycle of reflection on performance and program and can be used as a model by medical etiquette teachers. We suggest more research should be developed by researchers to access all aspects of program in students’ learning and indicators.

The primary purpose of medical ethics education is to prepare qualified physicians, who can improve the community’s health while respecting the patients’ rights and values (1). To improve the professionalism of medical students and physicians, basic components of professionalism (e.g., communication skills and ethics) and professional characteristics (e.g., accountability, altruism, professional excellence, and moral behavior) should be taken into consideration (3). In other words, ethics education attempts to communicate the governing virtues and values related to physicians’ interactions with patients, colleagues, and community (2). First and foremost, administrators and authorities of educational institutions should openly advocate for professional training and professional commitment; this ensures the success of related programs. Second, the etymological features of professionalism (historical roots, definitions, values, attributes, behaviors, and responsibilities) should be explicitly explained. Third, the learning environment should be in coordination with the objectives of the institution and professional regulations. Also, institutions should act based on their professional and organizational values, such as accountability, impartiality, honesty, integrity, and service, as their behaviors can influence the individual behaviors of learners and physicians.

Background Medical students are in direct contact with patients due to their clinical situation, and one of the important goals of medical education is professional development of these students. Objectives The purpose of this study was to explain students’ experiences regarding professionalism training using hidden curriculum. Methods This study was carried out through content analysis, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 6th and 8th semester undergraduate students of surgical technology. The participants were entered into the study using the purposive sampling method and each individual interview lasted for about 35 - 45 minutes. Semi-structured questions were used to conduct the interviews and then follow-up and exploratory questions were used to clarify the concept and to deepen the interview process. Results Overall, 358 primary codes and the two main themes of observing patient rights and professional accountability were extracted. The theme of observing patient rights includes three sub-themes, including observing patient privacy, respect for patient’s dignity and patient safety, and the theme of professional accountability comprised the three sub-themes of compliance with professional standards, professional communication and instructor as ethics teacher. Conclusions Professors’ familiarity with the training and development of professionalism among medical students, and attention to the role of hidden curriculum in the formulation of values, norms and behaviors regarding professionalism is suggested.
