Authors

Abstract
Professionalism is a belief system about perfection in health care delivery while ethics is the study of moral decisions and behaviours. In hidden curriculum, students learn by watching their instructors, but it leaves a lot to chance to grasp essence of professionalism and ethics. This curriculum is introduced to empower hidden curriculum and to develop a professionally sound graduate. The curriculum is divided into preclinical phase and clinical phase. Interactive lectures, case-based learning, self-directed learning and video cases/clips are going to be used in curriculum delivery. Various assessment methods will be used, either formative/internal assessment or summative assessment. With the course content, objectives, competencies, teaching learning tools and assessment tools having been outlined in this document, it is presumed that medical colleges in Egypt under the guidance of the regulatory body will find it much easier to introduce and implement professionalism and ethics module in declared curriculum, and we will encounter more professional physicians who are ethically strong.
