 Medical profession? What medical profession? - Other Medical Essays - Peter Morrell
Using the very modern idea of 'profession' as such a lens to view the medical past is profoundly distorting, even to the kaleidoscopic extent of creating compete fictions and chimeras - products of the lens - that did not even exist in ancient times.
Thus, one might conclude, that even today, the concept of 'medical profession' as a uniform entity is still to some degree an inaccurate and deceptive term, if not somewhat nebulous and often inapplicable.
That is the danger of applying a term like 'medical profession' to anything before about 1850.

 Teaching as a Profession: Historic, Public, Union, and Alternative Perceptions
The profession, calling, and/or vocation of teaching is too important for them to settle for anything other than real school choices for students, choices that give both teachers and students more freedom to define and select their own learning (or teaching) opportunities.
He wrote: “One of the main reasons for studying education as a profession is to demonstrate that the educators themselves have the power to achieve certain vocational objectives which would materially affect the educational objectives and possibilities of the public schools” (1956, page 15).
While there are certainly specializations within other professions, such as medicine, most doctors have at least agreed to the broader common purpose of what healing means and how a healthy body looks and acts.

 Tom DeMarco: "On Professionalism"
This unwillingness to profess is a sad consequence of our persistent and ignorant derogation of the management role.
Even in the traditional professions like medicine and law and clergy, promise-keeping is the most complex of the trappings of a professional.

 The Accounting Profession in the 20th Century
Over time, the profession seems to have adapted to a new world where all-out competition with other CPAs as well as non-CPA groups is accepted as a way of practice.
For this reason, and because solutions are needed to problems already identified, the profession through the auspices of the AICPA ought to appoint a high-level commission to take a hard look at whether the present structures and direction of the profession are appropriate for the new century.

 Ethics and the CA Profession: A Genealogy
Interestingly, most of the attributes of a “profession” as we know it today, including a body of knowledge, the concept of a “calling”, and education and training, were developed by the clergy in feudal times.
Public service is seen as the key guiding principle behind the activities of the profession, and while there is a concern exhibited for independence, it seems more focused on ensuring the independence of the profession as a whole than on the independence of individual auditors.
This emphasis on independence can be regarded as one of the various ways that members of the accountancy profession in Canada were “circling their wagons,” so to speak, to stave off the threat of government interference, something that would have affected the profession’s independence and in turn its legitimacy.

 Ethics in Legal Education and the Legal Profession

 Redefining a Profession, Richard A. Danner
The profession is also not ignoring the importance of research, as evidenced by the efforts of professional associations, such as SLA and AALL, to establish research agendas and to provide research grants, prizes, and other encouragements.
Like other professions faced with a rapidly changing work environment, computing professionals have struggled to define the professional knowledge base of a highly specialized and developing field, and to maintain meaningful relationships between academic knowledge and the practice of the profession.
As long as the social and economic conditions remained the same, the profession would enjoy some degree of success and acceptance; but if conditions were to change, there was no unified body of theory to provide "conceptual lenses" to look at a completely new set of problems and suggest ways to deal with them.

It was of the nature of the profession in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that lawyers working on commercial matters came in to manage the scavenger phase rather than the creation phase.
