Abstract
Professionalism is what professionals do to connect, contribute, and give back to their profession. We often picture it on a grand and spot-lit stage: the white coat ceremony, graduation oath, diplomas on the wall, and resumes on file. But it is in the crucible of everyday practice that a different image emerges. The icon of the heroic and duty-bound physician morphs into a kind of family portrait. Here we stand on a stage built by our forebears, lean against our colleagues, and look to the community where our work is fulfilled.
