Abstract: (752 Views)
Evidence from national and international institutions highlights a significant clinical practice gap, including the failure to adhere to best evidence-based practices at the point of care. This issue is multifaceted, stemming from incomplete information, poor communication by practitioners—resulting in inadequate patient compliance and understanding—and various environmental or social factors. A significant portion of these shortcomings lies in areas commonly referred to as professional behavior and professional ethics. While considerable efforts have been directed toward knowledge translation and implementing best clinical evidence, equivalent attention must be given to integrating professionalism and professional ethics into continuing medical education (CME) or, more aptly, continuing professional development (CPD). These aspects, however, appear underemphasized or even neglected in many CPD programs. This article seeks to address the essential "musts" and "must-nots" for designing an effective CPD program that incorporates professionalism and professional ethics as foundational components.
