The study used the validated 30-item "Medical Professionalism Climate in Clinical Settings" questionnaire developed by Asghari et al., containing two domains: adherence to professional behavior, and perceptions of the professional climate. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26. The study population consisted of 271 individuals working at a teaching hospital, 44.3% male and 55.7% female, averaging 34.79 years in age.</p> <p>The results showed there was a relationship between the total mean score, the professional behavior score, the professional climate score, and the participants' professional titles (<em>P</em>-value &lt; 0.001), as well as the duration of their work experience in the department (<em>P</em>-value: 0.005, <em>P</em>-value: 0.039, <em>P</em>-value: 0.001, respectively). The faculty members achieved the best scores, followed by the residents, nurses, and nursing assistants.
