How does Professional Formation improve competency in professionalism?

What our subscribers have to say:

"As a faculty member focused on delivering and assessing professionalism and student professional development, Professional Formation modules have been an incredibly useful tool. The modules cover a broad base of interprofessional, evidence-based content in an interactive and flexible format. The quality of the content has made for smooth integration into the curriculum and strong support from the faculty and curriculum committee review. Student feedback has been very positive and, in particular, the discussion board format has been particularly engaging and stimulated significant reflection."

"I presented the PF module on Social Justice this weekend and it was fantastic!! It spawned great conversations between faculty and students. The two hours just flew by...I love how the module had such a trickle-down effect and just opened up the floodgates for more and more conversation."
