It is considered that professionalism is a virtue as a personal attribute, competency is an observable behavior, and professional identity formation is a form of socialization. Social accountability is believed to be an important attribute of medical professionalism. A true professional struggles with complicated and/or ambiguous clinical problems of our modern society, and he/she grows up in the course of managing such difficult cases with iterative reflection. A reflective practitioner is someone who can practice in such a way. A reflective practitioner dealing with social problems is a true professional. Significant Event Analysis (SEA) is one of most valuable learning strategies to become a reflective practitioner.
