Authors: Latif, Muhammad Zahid; Hussain, Intzar; Nizami, Rahila; Khan, Muhammad Athar
Abstract: Medical professionalism is an ethical phenomena which is based on the requirements about competence, truthfulness and high moral values during the practice of medicine. It develops the foundation of the trust between doctor, patient and the society. It is robustly associated with concepts of social responsibility and accountability. There is a need to study the concepts of professionalism in the context of cultural diversity related with cross cultural believes, values and attitudes. The conflicting values of different cultures may affect the perception about professionalism in the local and global context. Medical educationalists are facing the challenges of teaching professionalism due to the explosion of information technology and globalization. Similarly the rapid privatization of medical education in Pakistan has raised versatile issues related with medical professionalism. This article reviews the relevant literature regarding professionalism and medical education in the context of Pakistan.
