Professionalism
.
In a season of rapid delivery system transformation, the United States is already experiencing some of the negative consequences that pursuing quality and value measurement have had on professionalism in health care.
Social Accountability in Medical Education
A century after the seminal Flexner report redefined medical education, its institutions face new challenges to demonstrate their alignment with the needs of patients and populations, their relevance to societal priorities, and their measurable impact on health.
Transforming Clinical Practice & Population Health
A mix of social, environmental occupational and economic factors collectively labelled the social determinants of health (SDH) have a greater combined influence on the morbidity and mortality of our patients than the services we deliver in traditional medical care.

Vision & Mission
We aim to align how the professions are valued with the values of the professions.
What we do: We’re working to align professionalism with enhancing value in the care of patients and the public, while reducing burden in clinical practice. Working with a variety of partners, the Center will help to shape both the public’s and the provider’s understanding of the Social Contract as well as policies that better support its success.
Key aims of our work are:
Testing the state of the social contract between health professionals and the public
To identify relationships between burnout, shame and professionalism
- To assess growing commoditization of health professionals and the impact on professionalism
To understand alignment between how value is measured and paid for and professionalism
To call out expectations of health professionals to routinely sacrifice well-being or financial solvency
To explore interprofessional understandings of professionalism
