Professionalism is best taught in clinical settings through role modeling of teachers. Students can observe the behavior of the physicians, this way, professionalism evaluation in practicing physicians is important. This study endeavored to develop a 360-degree tool for assessing the professional behavior of clinical attending.

In the versy last phase the reliability of the instrument was calculated on 18 faculty members, 10 head of departments, 16 residents and 17 nurses.
Results: Based on validity and reliability assessment, item pool reduced to 18. Seven items were assigned to department heads, 6 items to colleagues, 8 items to assistants, and 5 items to nurses. It was also found that patients were able to evaluate the professional behavior of clinical members in four aspects.
