Professionalism Lapses as Professional Identity Formation Challenges

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Remediation in Medical Education

Abstract

This chapter describes how reframing a lapse in professionalism as a struggle to align behavior with best intention can guide meaningful course correction. We share our experience in professionalism coaching, based on an evidence-based framework and measures of moral reasoning and professional identity formation. We review diagnostic assessments of strengths and challenges that learners can receive to deepen their understanding of the ethical and moral dimensions of professionalism.
