内容：医学教育已经成为医学教育的一个热门话题。如果要将专业精神视为积极和相关的，就需要对其进行评估。本次审查的目的是巩固当前的thinking. Implications：评估的专业精神已经从最初的重点发展和实现的专业身份，通过确定不足之处，实现了一套可识别的积极属性和行为。它现在开始认识到评估一个多维度的结构的挑战，超越行为的测量，拥抱approaches.Conclusions的多样性：mathalism应纵向评估。它需要结合不同的方法，评估个人、人际和社会/机构各级的专业精神。提高现有方案在各种情况下的可靠性和有效性的深度和质量，可能比集中精力开发新的工具更为适当。增加测试的数量和相关上下文的数量将增加结果的可靠性。同样，增加观察者的数量也会增加可靠性。鼓励反思的反馈可以促进行为的改变和身份的形成。
Context: Professionalism has become a hot topic in medical education. Professionalism needs to be assessed if it is to be viewed as both positive and relevant.Objectives: The assessment of professionalism is an evolving field. This review aims to consolidate current thinking.Implications: Assessment of professionalism has progressed from an initial focus on the development and attainment of professional identity, through identifying areas of deficiency, to the attainment of a set of identifiable positive attributes and behaviours. It is now beginning to recognise the challenge of assessing a multi-dimensional construct, looking beyond the measurement of behaviour to embrace a diversity of approaches.Conclusions: Professionalism should be assessed longitudinally. It requires combinations of different approaches, assessing professionalism at individual, interpersonal and societal/institutional levels. Increasing the depth and the quality of reliability and validity of existing programmes in various contexts may be more appropriate than concentrating on developing new instruments. Increasing the number of tests and the number of relevant contexts will increase the reliability of the result. Similarly increasing the number of observers increases reliability. Feedback, encouraging reflection, can promote change in behaviour and identity formation.
