Popis: Professionalism is a relevant topic of discussion among all pharmacy schools in the United States because it is now a highly emphasized element in the pharmacy education standards. It behooves pharmacy programs to ensure the proper teaching of professionalism throughout the pharmacy curriculum. In as much that, professionalization of students includes the formal didactic teaching of professionalism behaviors and values, it is even more critical for the sound, informal, or tacit teaching of professionalism to be achieved via faculty role modeling. Thus, faculty plays a significant role in the professionalization of pharmacy students through both avoidance of unprofessional behaviors and through consistent demonstration of professional behaviors.
