Core Tip	Medical professionalism provides the guidelines that govern the patient-physician relationship. This implicit contract requires that patients be educated regarding their diagnostic and treatment decisions. Shared decision-making is a recent paradigm shift in patient education that allows patients to make decisions based both on the counsel of their physicians and according to their own preferences and values. To promote adherence to the educational responsibility inherent in medical professionalism, we recommend physician payment reform that rewards physicians for time spent with patients rather than the volume of patients seen.
