It is widely recognized that professionals such as doctors, nurses,
engineers, and teachers have duties that go far beyond those of
ordinary citizens, but there is much disagreement as to why they
have such duties. In Professional Ethics: A Trust-Based Approach,
Terrence Kelly argues that such duties come from the unique trust
that professionals must invite, develop, and honor from those they
serve. Without trust, professional practice would be significantly
impoverished-both ethically and instrumentally- and the autonomy
enjoyed by many professions would evaporate. Professionals
therefore have good reasons to be "effectively trustworthy"- that
is, to develop the virtues necessary to be responsive to the
vulnerability of those they serve; and effectively communicate that
responsiveness to others. Being effectively trustworthy requires a
commitment by professionals as individual practitioners and as
members of ethical communities committed to building a culture of
trust. Such communities can, and should, design virtue-based
professional education that promotes trustworthy character
formation, and articulate an ethical vision of the trustworthy
professional that has real credibility in the practical conditions
of profession. Because of the importance of trust, professional
communities also have good reasons to develop conduct standards,
such as those regarding conflict of interest, that promote
professional trustworthiness in both fact and appearance.
