Professional Resource Catalog

The Professionalism Resource Catalogue (PRC) resides at the very center of the UMMC Quality Enhancement Plan which is designed to incorporate professionalism content into the curricula of UMMC’s schools. The catalogue houses a collection of individual curriculum elements intended to be embedded into existing core content instruction. These elements span a wide spectrum of professionalism, ethics, and human engagement topics as they relate to health care practice and research. Each element is designed to be used, either as is or modified, by regular (content expert) course instructors. Embedding professionalism seamlessly into course content, and presented by experts within each discipline, sends the clear message that professionalism, ethics, and engagement are indeed integral parts of what clinicians and investigators do in the course of their daily activities.

The elements of the PRC include individual slides of concepts and terms, complete PowerPoint presentations covering specific topics, small group activities, classroom exercises, films with discussion points, and an extensive annotated bibliography. Course coordinators and instructors are encouraged to peruse the catalogue and identify elements that can be embedded into their own courses or lectures. The staff of the CBMH is available to assist any faculty member in identifying or developing discipline and stage specific professionalism content for their instruction of activities. In addition, we encourage faculty who have already developed this type of content to share it with the CBMH so that we can make it available to other UMMC faculty.
