“…The current study found that internal motivation is the most important matter as a personal characteristic in medical students' perception regarding medical professionalism, followed by punctuality and attendance. In contrast to earlier findings, a previous study demonstrated honesty, adherence to ethics, and reliability in inpatient care to be the essential items (4) . In the social responsibility category, we found improving access to care to be an essential parameter that goes along with what Rafique et al previously reported (4) .…”

“…Addressing professionalism in medical education is challenging. (4). Even though several definitions of professionalism in the context of medical education are described in the literature, it is difficult to identify one that is universally applicable, as it is 'context dependent' and includes several different culturally and socially determined qualities and competencies (5) .…”

Background: Transformation of medical students into medical professionals is a core competency required for physicians since training and practice of medicine focus upon character, personal integrity, academic and technical skills. Professionalism is associated with better clinical outcomes. Evidence shows that professionalism affects decisionmaking, medical errors, patient interactions, patient satisfaction, and health outcomes. Professionalism is taught at the Medical College in King Faisal University (KFU), but the importance is unclear for learners. Aim: To understand if there is a difference between pre-clinical and clinical students' perception of professionalism among students at the

(1) Background: Mental well-being and mental health problems are both important, especially among medical students who will be future doctors. The proposed study aimed to explore both positive and negative mental health experiences, especially mistreatment, occurring among medical students in their clinical years. (2) Methods/design: The study will conduct a cross-sectional survey between January 2021 and December 2021, among medical students studying in their clinical years across 23 medical schools throughout Thailand. Measurements regarding character strengths related to medical professionalism as well as other positive mental health strengths and negative mental health problems, e.g., anxiety, depression and experience of mistreatment will be completed. Both medical students and faculty members will be invited to participate in the study. (3) Discussion: this survey will provide an overall picture of medical students’ mental well-being, positive and negative aspects of mental health and the magnitude of mistreatment and perspectives they experience. The limitations of the survey will be discussed.

Background: Professionalism is a core quality which has to be developed and imbibed by medical students. However, training in professionalism was not a part of the medical curriculum until recently when the Competency-Based Medical Education system was introduced for undergraduate medical students in India, by the National Medical Commission. However, there has been no formal training on professionalism, in the curriculum of postgraduate (PG) medical students in India. Therefore, in this study, we have done a quantitative assessment of the attitude towards professionalism among PG medical students. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 PG medical students of an autonomous institute in Patna, Bihar over a period of six months using the Learners’ Attitudes on Medical Professionalism Scale (LAMPS) questionnaire. Data entry was done on Microsft Excel 2015 (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington, United States) and data analysis was done using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 26.0 (Released 2019; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States). Results: Out of 200 study subjects, 55% (n=110) were PG students from clinical departments and 45% (n=90) were from pre-clinical and para-clinical departments; 25.5% (n=51) of them were from first year, 57% (n=114) of them were from second year, and 17.5% (n=35) were from third year PG training. The overall mean score for the LAMPS scale across all domains was found to be 2.78±0.178 (mean±S.D). Clinical PG students (2.99 ± 0.217) received significantly higher scores than pre/paraclinical PG students (2.68 ± 0.176) (T-test value = 10.9262, p < 0.0001). Conclusion: This study highlights the disparity in professionalism scores between clinical and pre/para-clinical students, suggesting a tailored approach might be beneficial. In order to improve the attitude towards professionalism, structured courses/workshops should be inculcated into the PG training curriculum. Continuous evaluation of professionalism throughout medical training can lead to better preparedness for future professional roles.
