Norwegian medical student’s definition of professionalism:
“To be who the patient needs you to be”
AMEE, 2011
“I think it shows your desire to embrace new ideas/technologies and learn from others regardless of whether they are students, doctors, patients or other health care professionals. (Multidisciplinary learning at its best). Also shows a willingness to adopt new teaching methods- which may involve use of trial and error, which in this case is very good.”
