At the center of this book is the complex and perplexing question
of how to design professional preparation programs, organizational
management practices, public policy systems and robust professional
associations committed to and capable of, maintaining confidence,
trust and the other hallmarks of responsible professionalism. To do
this, we need to rebuild our understanding of professional
responsibility from the ground up. We describe how individuals
might be prepared to engage in responsible professional service
delivery, examine promising options for the reform of professional
service systems and finally, outline a reform strategy for
improving practice in education and medicine - two essential public
services. The nexus of the reform problem in professionalism is
establishing a more robust and effective working relationship
between teachers and their students; between health care
professionals and their patients and between educators and health
professionals. Professionalism means acceptance of professional
responsibility for student and patient outcomes - not just
acceptance of responsibility for technical expertise, but
commitment to the social norms of the profession, including
trustworthiness and responsibility for client wellbeing. In the
past, it may have been sufficient to assume that adequate knowledge
can be shaped into standards of professional practice. Today, it is
clear that we must take careful account of the ways in which
practicing professionals develop, internalize and sustain
professionalism during their training, along with the ways in which
this commitment to professionalism may be undermined by the
regulatory, fiscal, technological, political and emotional
incentive systems that impinge on professional workplaces and
professional employment systems.
