Developing Professional Behaviors

This volume provides a focused approach for developing a challenging yet vital and necessary area for professional success in health-care practitioners - the development of professional behaviours.

These behaviours are developed through the recognition of skills, practice, experience, role mentorship, and evaluative feedback. The text features: professional development assessment; case vignettes, activities and exercises; and structured activities for professional behaviours.
