Professionalism and ethics are an important part of all jobs, but specifically in healthcare. Dr. Brian Walsh explained these terms very well. Being a professional, as described by Br. Walsh, are people who have the qualities of serving the people and needs of society, understanding and acting out the characteristics of professionalism, and enhancing and setting the professional example. Within these qualities there are aspects like doing, helping, knowing and learning, that make workers and customers or patients happier. In any job, these qualities are very important because people who are help others and behave well, attract other people who do the same. This process will bring together a healthy and welcoming work environment. If these qualities are seen through, it is likely that it is an ethically upheld work environment. Ethics describes what is morally good or bad. Meaning that if a coworker asks another coworker to do something that is morally wrong, the ethical, or morally good thing, to do is for the other coworker to decline. With professionalism and ethics, this makes it so that each person gives and recieves respect from other coworkers and customers or patients.

After viewing the address by former AARC president Dr. Brian Walsh, to start, the outline of professionalism was very interesting. I also found the analysis of what a professional is to be very educational, especially some aspects like how a professional is someone who has paid for their profession, has good behavior, mannerism, judgement, and has achieved a high level of skill and knowledge. His additional point about how a professional serves the needs of society is also very true. The transition to how this relates to the profession and societal expectations was agreeable and very well put. Dr. Walsh’s personal quote, “surround yourself with smart people and you will be smarter” really speaks a lot of volume in regards to professionalism. I also thought Dr. Walsh’s four aspects of being a professional were very enlightening, as they tied into being a strategic and hard working individual, which he mentioned, will in turn compensate for lack of genius. I found his slide about “why some fail” to be a good learning curve. His analysis on how to make a proper impression on someone held a lot of veracity. I enjoyed his explanation on the background of the past and current role of the AARC, as well as its process of membership, as it included a lot of helpful guidance. Dr. Walsh’s description of State Respiratory Care Societies was a neat inclusion. I had never heard of this portion of the field before, even when reading the RESC Profession class articles. His process for starting a new career helped to explain the correct route for education, obtaining credentials, and getting a job. Last, his parting words helped to tie the whole presentation together, emphasizing care for the patient, being an expert, leadership, communication, working together, and trying your best to have fun. Overall, I found the video conference to be a great wealth of knowledge and quite an interesting presentation.
