title: Teach professionalism.
abstract: We have seen that professionalism is difficult to define and subsequently difficult to teach. The formation of a professional identity starts from the day a student embarks on their undergraduate training and extends throughout their postgraduate career. There is no one method that should be employed to teach professionalism. Instead faculty must attempt to incorporate a variety of learning opportunities throughout their formal curriculum whilst recognising and harnessing the effects of the informal and hidden curricula.
