| Research Abstract |
<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 2: Physician and patient survey concerning professional attitudes and behaviors> Internet-based survey and postal survey were conducted. We found that patients and general Japanese people were much more critical against unprofessional attitudes and behaviors than physicians themselves thought. We also found that gifts from pharmaceutical companies may affect prescription behaviors of physicians.
<Results 3: Development of educational program enhancing professionalism of physicians> We developed two effective educational program enhancing medical professionalism : Cinema-based discussion program and significant event analysis for medical professionalism.
<Results 4: Working environments and job satisfactions among physicians> We conducted a survey asking working status, job satisfactions, and attitude to patients to physicians. Lack of autonomy had a significant relationship with physician job satisfactions and attitudes to their patients.
With these results, we held a forum for professionalism in which several types of medical professionals as well as ethics experts, mediators, the media, and representatives of patients attended searching for new model of patient professional relations. We finally made a proposal of professional declarations of Japanese physicians. Less
