ABSTRACT

The value and importance of medical professionalism has been recognized for medical educators in Korea for several decades. However, the lack of a shared understanding of medical professionalism hinders its adoption and application in educational settings. This article introduces three mainstream understandings of medical professionalism, integrates a virtue-based and identity formation understanding into one virtue ethics understanding, and analyzes the concept of medical professionalism in the learning outcomes of the basic medical education of the Korea Association of Medical Colleges (KAMC). In particular, we borrow the notion of “practice” and the three necessary virtues for all practices from MacIntyre’s virtue theory and then apply those concepts to the medical professionalism in the learning outcomes of the basic medical education of KAMC. We find that KAMC documents adopt an outcome-based approach that needs more elaboration in terms of virtue ethics in order to present a comprehensive understanding of medical professionalism. In conclusion, we propose three necessary virtues for medical professionalism and argue for their utilization in medical education as an effective means to bridge the learning outcomes and objectives of the medical professionalism in KAMC documents.
