Professionalism is expected of all physicians, at every stage, and demonstrating those expected behaviors helps students grow into their professional personas as they become our colleagues.

- Display enthusiasm for teaching
- Respectfully respond to each learner’s unique needs and learning goals related to patient care
- Be available and accessible to learners
- Acknowledge when beliefs or attitudes are influencing the teaching or learning environment
- Model highest standards of the profession
