Terms in this set (64)



Professionalism Its earliest meaning comes from those professing the vows of a religious order. It
meant the act of professing, a spiritual commitment, a range of academic
expertise or both. By 1675 the term was secularized.


Professional One who is "engaged in one of the learned or skilled professions, or in a calling
considered socially superior to a trade or handicraft."


Learned Professions A vocation or occupation requiring advanced training in some liberal art or
science, and usually involving mental rather than manual work, as teaching,
engineering, writing, etc.; especially medicine, law, or theology.


Requirements for a Profession - The members posses a specialized body of knowledge, not easily acquired,
accomplished through advanced education or training.
- The members share a commitment to serving the public (or community they
serve).
- The members share a commitment to promoting the common good.
- The members share a professional creed or code of ethics that effectively holds
themselves and their colleagues to a higher standard or behavior than is the norm
for other vocations.

treated with goodwill in the future.


Four Pillars of Procedural Justice - Fairness and Consistency
