This study reports data derived from a single class of students at one medical school in the early stages of their clinical education

Summary
Powered by the California Digital Library University of California viii STANDARDIZED PATIENTS—WILL THE QUESTIONS NEVER END?. The subject of professionalism is currently engendering great interest within the medical education community. Concern exists that conditions within the health care delivery environment threaten established standards of professional behavior, and, perhaps more insidiously, that the medical education experience itself may be negatively influencing the development of physicians’ professionalism.[1,2,3] As a consequence, much energy has recently been directed toward defining competencies that reflect professionalism and in creating corresponding curricula that will foster learning in this domain.[4,5,6]. Comparisons are made with other measures of professionalism, such as faculty evaluation, performance on a written self-reflective exercise, and student-reported participation in community service activities
