Professionalism, medical autonomy, physician´s commitmentAbstract
The modern concept of professionalism and its application to medical practice is presented. From the medical professionalism project led by major American and European associations of Medicine, the basic principles and commitments of physicians on the XXI century and the demands that society makes to the medical practitioner are described, considering the risks that currently exist to maintain professionalism in current medical practice in order to achieve what society supports and strengthens the autonomy of the medical profession. It is emphasized that the autonomy that is defended and is considered essential for a good medical practice is the autonomy of the profession and not the individual physician autonomy, for that reason protocols and guidelines promulgated by the medical profession become important to guide its affiliates. Finally, some elements of what medical profession can do now to maintain its autonomy are outlined.
