Professionalism and Professional Standards for Doctors (USA) is a CPD course designed to help physicians understand, apply, and evidence professionalism as defined by U.S. regulators.

Professionalism goes beyond clinical competence — it is about how doctors demonstrate honesty, accountability, respect, and integrity in all interactions. U.S. state medical boards, the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), and the American Medical Association (AMA) all emphasise that professionalism is central to licensure and public trust.

This course explores the attributes of professionalism, how lapses are treated by regulators, and strategies for embedding professional behaviour into daily practice. Through examples, case studies, and regulator-aligned guidance, learners will gain the tools to meet and demonstrate professional standards in both clinical care and disciplinary contexts.
