This professionalism guide by The American Board of Pediatrics helps students learn about positive behaviors in a healthcare setting. The website provides a detailed description of positive work behaviors and professionalism in a healthcare setting. As students review this section, they should create a list. It also provides some examples of negative work behaviors in a healthcare setting so students can distinguish between positive and negative behaviors. The website also provides 7 vignettes to use as an interactive activity. Students can be split into small groups and given one vignette, and then they can discuss what a positive, professional response would look like to each scenario. The goal of this activity is to prepare students to act professionally and positively in a healthcare job.
