<Background> With a change of patient-physician relationship model, professionalism of Japanese physicians seems to diminish. <Objective> To enhance medical professionalism of physicians, we aimed to explore conceptual contents of medical professionalism in Japan, to conduct surveys asking physicians professional attitudes and behaviors both to physicians and patients, to develop educational programs concerning medical professionalism for students and young physicians, and to search appropriate prescriptions enhancing professionalism of current Japanese physicians through the evidence. <Results 1: Conceptual discussion log and qualitative research about professionalism> In addition to having case based discussions about professional behaviors among physicians, we conducted qualitative focus groups to patients and co-medical staffs.

We finally made a proposal of professional declarations of Japanese physicians. Less
