Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Physician Professionalism
  • Anaesthesiology

Background:

  • The CanMEDS 2000 project established 'professional' as a core physician role.
  • Specialties must define professionalism within their specific contexts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define the professional qualities specific to anaesthesiology in Canada.
  • To establish a consensus on essential professional attributes for anaesthesiologists.

Main Methods:

  • A Delphi technique was employed with Canadian anaesthesiology educators.
  • Three rounds of consensus-building identified qualities in humanistic, personal development, and meta-competence areas.

Main Results:

  • Response rates ranged from 69% to 79% across three Delphi rounds.
  • The initial 36 qualities were refined to a final list of 40, involving combinations, modifications, additions, and deletions.

Conclusions:

  • Significant interest exists among Canadian postgraduate anaesthesiology educators regarding professionalism.
  • The Delphi technique successfully achieved consensus on crucial professional qualities for anaesthesiologists.
  • These defined qualities will guide the development of measurable professional behaviors for anaesthesiologists.
