摘要

Background?Medical professionalism has received increased worldwide attention, yet there is limited information on the applicability and utility of established Western professionalism frameworks in non-Western nations.;Objective?We developed a locally derived consensus definition of medical professionalism for the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which reflects the cultural and social constructs of the UAE and the Middle East.;Methods?We used a purposive sample of 14 physicians working in the UAE as clinical and education leaders. This expert panel used qualitative methods, including the world café, nominal group technique, the Delphi method, and an interpretive thematic analysis to develop the consensus statement.;Results?The expert panel defined 9 attributes of medical professionalism. There was considerable overlap with accepted Western definitions, along with important differences in 3 aspects: (1) the primacy of social justice and societal rights; (2) the role of the physician's personal faith and spirituality in guiding professional practices; and (3) societal expectations for professional attributes of physicians that extend beyond the practice of medicine.;Conclusions?Professionalism is a social construct influenced by cultural and religious contexts. It is imperative that definitions of professionalism used in the education of physicians in training and in the assessment of practicing physicians be formulated locally and encompass specific competencies relevant to the local, social, and cultural context for medical practice. Our goal was to develop a secular consensus statement that encompasses culture and values relevant to professionalism for the UAE and the Arab region.;What was known and gap Conceptual frameworks for physician professionalism based on Western cultural norms may have limited applicability in non-Western nations.;What is new A locally consensus derived definition of medical professionalism for an Arab nation.;Limitations Framework is based on single group interaction, limiting the ability to generalize.;Bottom line The professionalism framework reflects the cultural and social constructs of the United Arab Emirates and the Middle East.;Introduction For the past 2000 years, the medical community has grappled with the definition of physician professionalism. In Western nations, concepts of humanism and altruism originating from the Hippocratic Oath and Judeo-Christian ethics have formed the basis of professionalism charters for physicians in practice and curricula for trainees.1 Definitions of professionalism based on these Western concepts have been translated into many languages, endorsed by medical societies in different nations, and adopted worldwide.2 In contrast, physician professionalism is less well defined in many non-Western nations. In the Arab world, there have been limited attempts to conceptualize medical professionalism in secular terms, primarily because physician roles and values have been deeply rooted in the principles of Islamic medical ethics.3 In recent years, globalization has become a major driving force in many fields, including health care and medical education.4 As Western educational systems expand internationally, non-Western countries are adopting pivotal concepts and competencies derived from these systems in efforts to improve the quality of education and patient care delivered to their populations.5,6 Professionalism, however, is inexorably linked to a society's culture and values.7 Given the limited attempts to define professionalism in the Arab and Muslim society of the Middle East,8,9 one must consider whether cornerstone values on which Western definitions of professionalism are built may conflict with the religious and cultural concepts that shape physician and patient health beliefs in the Middle East. The purpose of this study was to develop a locally derived definition of medical professionalism for the UAE, a nation that reflects the cultural and social constructs
