Can Professionalism Be Measured? The Development of a Scale for Use in the Medical Environment.

Arnold, Erin L.; Blank, Linda L.; Race, Kathryn E. H.; Cipparrone, Nancy

Academic Medicine, v73 n10 p1119-21 Oct 1998

A scale designed to measure professional attitudes and behaviors associated with the medical education and residency training environment was pilot-tested by 529 medical students and residents in five institutions. The scale's internal reliability was relatively high, and factor analysis revealed three subscales. Results are interpreted as an encouraging step toward development of a reliable scale.
