Q

What is the difference between being a professional and a member of a profession.

  1. To be part of something bigger then yourself, a community w/ shared goals and identity.
  2. Demonstrate competencies, have specialized training, use knowledge and perform skills well.
  3. Uphold high standards, respectful of others, put pt interest first, know your limit, avoid bias.
  4. Recognized for expertise by a society and colleagues/ORDER.
    - Regulatory body=Protect Public, All HCPs have a regulatory body.
