ABSTRACT

Regardless of the cultural level have a lot people think that the anesthesiologist is a technician, a nurse or a general practitioner trained to practice anesthesiology. Unfortunately we as anesthesiologists are responsible for these views, because of the attitudes that we project in our environment. We need to reflect on what is professionalism, how can achieve? And how can you measure? Professionalism is something specific to the profession in question and is a mantle of behaviors. It is a state that takes years to achieve and must be maintained throughout the career. For Hilton and Slotnik, professionalism consists of personal attributes and cooperation attributes. How professionalism can be achieved? Is achieved through protoprofesionalismo, period of time before professionalism gained, begins when an individual starts his career as a medical student and ends when the individual is a mature professional who possesses Phronesis or practical wisdom. How can you measure? One of the main problems of teaching and professional assessment is the lack of adequate teaching professionally for doctors anesthesiology residents. The professionalism has many factors difficult to measure and most are subjective, that is, many of the items that can serve to measure depend on the perception of the evaluators. There are good studies evidence level to assess the communication skills and professionalism of practicing physicians and anesthesiology residents in a variety of environment using a multi-scale technique with feedback, measurement or evaluation of anesthesiology resident learning and teachers should be performed with well- structured and high levels of evidence that allowing us to achieve assessments increasingly objective.
