ABSTRACT This article explores the role of profession centrism in shaping interprofessional education. Profession centrism is concerned with how a person is socialized within a health profession and how this process affects their ability to work effectively with others. If social work defines health as an important practice domain, then learning to minimize the impact of profession centrism and understanding its role in regulating the delivery of health care services is a critical education and training objective. Health professions possess unique professional cultures that shape the reality of educational experience for its members; determine the salience of curriculum content, impact core values, practice rituals and customs; establish professional symbols; and determine the meaning and etiology of symptoms and what constitutes health. Professional culture defines how reality is constructed, power allocated, decisions made, and conflict resolved between members of a health care team. To create an effective interprofessional practice environment, the knowledge and skills each professional brings to the health care team must be understood. Students and trainees must learn how to work across professions by understanding their histories and biases.

专业中心主义及其在塑造跨职业教育中的作用：对社会工作教育的启示

摘要本文探讨了职业中心主义在塑造跨职业教育中的作用。职业中心主义关注一个人如何在医疗保健行业内社交，以及这个过程如何影响他们与他人有效合作的能力。如果社会工作将健康定义为重要的实践领域，那么学习减少职业中心主义的影响并了解其在调节卫生保健服务提供方面的作用是一项至关重要的教育和培训目标。卫生专业拥有独特的专业文化，这些文化塑造着其成员的教育经验。确定课程内容的显着性，影响核心价值，实践习惯和习俗；建立专业符号；并确定症状的含义和病因以及健康的构成。专业文化定义了医疗团队成员之间如何构建现实，分配权力，做出决定以及解决冲突。为了创建有效的跨专业实践环境，必须了解每个专业人员带给医疗团队的知识和技能。学生和受训者必须通过了解他们的历史和偏见来学习如何跨专业工作。
