MHA 508 Week 1 Discussion

Read “Medical Professionalism: What the Study of Literature Can Contribute to the Conversation” from Philosophy, Ethics & Humanities in Medicine located in The Week 1 University Library Readings.

As you read the article, contemplate how literature can help you develop your own brand of ethical leadership within the health care regulatory environment.

• Review Fig.1 on p. 6 of the Medical Professionalism article. Select two to three outcomes that are important to you (or that you want to achieve in your professional career) and explain what you are doing (or are going to do) to develop those abilities.

Due Monday (23 pts)
