“…In a nutshell, Hippocrates made two ground-breaking contributions: he promoted medicine to an art that adhered to scientific methodology, and established it as a profession practiced within a humanitarian moral framework. 13 In this manner, he streamlined the separation of medical practice from religion and philosophy, thus decisively shaping the future of medicine twenty five hundred years later the plane tree still bears leaves, whereas the temple is in ruins.

Fifty years in the future, doctors will have access to vast amounts of information through a multitude of noninvasive diagnostics. Progressively more personalized medicine should inspire doctors to become even more adept at communicating effectively with patients. Professionalism in medicine throughout these generations embodies similar fundamental behaviors, such as demonstrating compassion, respect, and humility; adhering to high ethical and moral standards; subordinating personal interest to that of others; and reflecting on actions and decisions. Despite the dynamic nature of the profession itself, the omnipresent need for such traits will define medical professionalism for decades to come. U NDERSTANDING PROFESSIONALISM in modern medicine occupies a great deal of attention in medical education, research, and practice. A universally recognized definition eludes the profession, but professionalism itself may be considered in the context of the era in which it applies.This exploration of pro-
