Professional Values

We believe that within our academic and clinical settings, shared norms, values, and expectations help to describe and support the behaviours expected of us by patients and families, and by society. These norms, values, and expectations are collectively known as our professional values. Our professional values are the commitments we keep to our patients, our colleagues, our learners, and ourselves – even in challenging situations – to contribute to psychologically and culturally safe environments that are necessary for excellent healthcare and education and for our shared wellbeing.  We also believe that while many professional values are timeless, others evolve to become more prominent as a result of necessary societal change.
