Hello dr Lekshmi

Good clinician need to patient in his beginning the road for get information from seniors until get knowledge which is cumulative information + experience. Also keeping on attending conferences, meetings, workshop and checking updates in scientific websites like Cochrane & plumbed. Clinician at least should has a certificate like diploma , master , or fellowship ( above bachelor so I mean not USMLE nor PLAB ) so he can mix between science and practical or applied science.

For example I got offer in one of Gulf countries and I have academic MPH , but the committee were need applied certificate like FETP ( Fellowship Epidemiology training program) which is confined only for clinicians and epidemiologists in ministry of health.

While academic researcher focus on teaching side according to the institute and research for paper publications, in clinical department of medical faculty also teaching students by examination & how to take medical histories from patients . Also how to appraise or criticize the paper with EBM (Based Evidence Medicine). Researcher in faculty of medicine may be asked to a tasks or duties correcting the answers of student exams ... Regarding application of medical science it is according to rules of the ministry of high education that responsible for university's education, only academic researcher be allowed to work outside college as a private after setting MD or PhD , or when working abroad. Opportunity to get MD is higher among academic researchers.

Academic researcher focuses on solving problems so having high skills in statistics and study designs.

Usually high opportunity for academic researchers to deal with quality of scientific research and education for ISO standards.

While clinicians may be under global technology need to learn quality of healthcare to get ISO or JCI

In USA , there is a good chance for medicine also which is physician assistance (PA) in many specialties with high salary.

So many countries are going on making 2 pathway in medical field, the board or fellowship for ministry of health ( for clinicians ), the other pathway is the academic like diploma, master degree, MD or PhD.

From PowerPoint ,,,

The qualified skills for researcher are like the following:-

1)Critical thinking

2)Creative thinking

3)Self-learning

4)Planning

5)Marketing

6)Presentation

7)How to use Word Office

8)How to use Reference package program as : Endnote & Readcure

9)Expert in English language

10)Ongoing up to date science

11)Check journals suitable for scientist sub-specialties , with journal impact factor

12)How to search in pub-med , google scholar , Cochrane library

13)eul.edu.eg ( it is a digital library in Egypt) , Egyptian Universities Libraries Consortium

14)Scimago Journal ( search for journals that related to the researcher)

15)No for plagiarism ( no for copy and paste , or make the same skeleton of previous paper) >> so researcher has to write the paragraph by his power of his English language.

16)Time management ability to decrease time consuming

17)Power of using statistical methods & its interpretation

18)Check videos & courses of : coursera , edx

Lekshi - for me - a good clinical practitioner is one with current practice relevancy. That they are practicing in the area that they are researching and have a recognised 'expertise' and standing in the field i.e. long-standing experience and high-level training/education/development in that clinical area. Av good clinical researcher looks to involve the multi-disciplinary team (that includes clients and families) - and seeks to research 'with' rather than 'on'.

Lekshmi,

Based on personal perspectives, Qualities of a Good Clinical Practitioner in Healthcare demands the following:

1. Effective clinical practice requires qualities and values that reflect positive attitudes toward the profession.

2. Must have courage and moral obligations to challenge the existing state of practice for the benefit of patients.

3. Address quality care issues and propose solutions to prevailing problems

4. Always engage in ethical and professional practice

@kemal surji "Effective clinical practice requires qualities and values that reflect positive attitudes toward the profession." This is what I want to the bottom of. What are these qualities and values?

Dear Christian Jost ,

You are right. Without touching the patient's body to confirm a diagnosis, heart disease can be misdiagnosed.

Please read https://www.researchgate.net/project/What-are-the-best-preventive-healthcare-educations/update/5cb983a03843b01b9b9b1917. It listed misdiagnoses of the heart diseases.

There were other misdiagnoses that I encountered. It's not only a medical waste. But also not fair to the patient to put him under the drug's side effects for life.

Best Regards,

Frieda

In order to have qualified practice, many medical textbooks should be revised.

Such as

Let me stop here. Otherwise, I can stay here in my rest life before the medical system can be corrected.

In the mid-1990s, the General Medical Council (GMC) in the UK issued a document entitled, "Good Medical Practice." It set out the expectations for a good practitioner, expectations that on the one hand set a high bar but on the other hand could/should be expected for every practicing physician.

In the mid-2000s, a few leaders in American medicine put together a voluntary consortium of persons from organizations that could be considered stake-holders in the quality of medical practice. The members of this group met several times in various cities where they worked hard with a facilitator to develop an American product. The leaders had consulted with Sir Donald Irvine, who had chaired the GMC's effort and used the UK document as a model/starting-point. By 2008 there was a draft document, Good Medical Practice-USA version 1.0, that is still available as a pdf on the web. I'm attaching a copy.

In addition, one of the members of the consortium, James Guest, then the CEO of Consumer's Union, had drafted a document outlining patient expectations of a good medical practitioner. These, unfortunately, were not added to the draft of Good Medical Practice-USA.

Also very unfortunate is that the documents were never adopted formally. The 1.0 version was put on the web for comment, and the website for the comments was taken down a couple of years later.

Nonetheless, I believe that there is a lot of rich material in these documents. They not only address the question that initiated this discussion, but ought to be put into use in health professions education, granting of professional licenses, etc.

@Stephen C Schoenbaum Thank you. I look forward to reading the document.

What about you though? What is your opinion on the matter? I would like to know of that as well.
