Abstract

Recognizing that all health professions educational programs seek to graduate students possessing characteristics embodying the nebulous concept of professionalism, educators in four imaging and radiation science programs and a clinical laboratory science program collaborated to create a measurement tool for professionalism in pre-service education. The Student Professional Behavior Evaluation Tool and the process for its development and implementation are described.
