In this episode of The Perioperative Podcast, we delve into Signature Pedagogies in the Professions (Shulman, 2005), exploring how professionalism is defined and demonstrated within Operating Department Practice (ODP). We discuss the knowledge, skills, and values that underpin the profession, referencing key professional bodies and codes of practice. Through personal examples and teaching strategies, we highlight how these elements are embedded in clinical education and examine the vital role of reflective practice in shaping competent, compassionate perioperative professionals.
