Description of activity
All members of the academic pharmacy community should be held to the
same standards of professionalism as the student body. According to the
AACP Excellence Series paper on professionalism, “…faculty,
practitioners, and others must act as role models to display or
demonstrate the kinds of attitudes, values, and behaviors expected of
students, and must take the lead in guiding and facilitating the
professional socialization process.”
Rationale
Individuals associated with a college or school of pharmacy must exhibit
professional behavior at all times since students may choose to emulate
them. Students and graduates often identify individuals at their college
or school of pharmacy who served as role models in shaping their
professional behavior. Efforts should be made to reward and recognize
positive models. Programs should be available for faculty and staff who
desire or require professional behavior development.
Areas of professionalism addressed
All areas of professionalism (e.g., altruism, accountability, duty,
honor, integrity, and respect for others) can be reflected by a diverse
group of individuals employed by a school or college of pharmacy.
Special issues involving
planning/promotion/implementation
The administration and faculty of the school or college should develop
guidelines for the professional conduct of all individuals interacting
with students. Examples of topic areas for guidelines include
professional attire, conduct in the instructional setting, and
confidentiality.
