Show moreAimed to gain insight into patients’ expectations regarding the professionalism of GPs, we first studied unsolicited patient complaints. It appeared that a substantial proportion of unsolicited complaints concern professionalism issues. This dissertation provides insight into how patients experience unprofessional behaviour of physicians.Further, it provides educators with appropriate language to describe the unprofessional behaviour of residents, which matches that of the 4 I’s model. This language can contribute to the early identification of professionalism issues and the remediation of lapses in professionalism.This dissertation also provides insights into the PIF of GP residents from the perspectives of both supervisors and residents. According to residents, identity formation occurs primarily in the workplace as they move from doing the work of to becoming a GP and negotiate perceived norms. Residents feel that a tapestry of interrelated influencing factors – most prominently clinical experiences, clinical supervisors, and self-assessments – which changes over time, is felt to exert its influence predominantly in the workplace. Their supervisors have an image of the professional identity they are supporting and work toward that goal through role-modeling and mentoring. Supervisors believe that a bond of trust between supervisor and resident is a prerequisite to properly support residents’ PIF. Show less

Show moreThrough my investigation, I expose the multiple layers of Kurdish cinema constructed by Kurdish films and directors, by academics working on Kurdish cinema, by Kurdish institutions, and by contemporary artists. By employing a content analysis of films in Kurdish languages, identifying Kurdish directors as agents of history making, and investigating attempts to institutionalize Kurdish cinema, I address the Kurdish presupposition of equality to act in an aesthetic regime of art. I structure my research under three chapters: ‘A Foundation of Kurdish National Cinema’, ‘A Re-interpretation of Kurdish Trauma’, and ‘An Aesthetic Regime of Kurdishness’. Based on the detailed discussion, across these three chapters, of national cinema, the art of the un-representable, and digital revolution, I aim to reveal the necessity of exploring the aesthetics regime of Kurdishness in audio-visual terms, in order to articulate the subjectification processes leading to an ethical community in the name of Rancièrian democratic politics.I posit cinema as a home for the communicative act that will empower speech and thought for the Kurdish social body. It does so by folding the future into the present through an aesthetic regime of imperfect, mobile audio-visual assemblages. Show less
