Abstract
In Work and Integrity, William Sullivan posits that all professional schools must train their students in "three apprenticeships." The first apprenticeship is intellectual; it develops the knowledge base and the habits of the mind that the profession deems most important for the practitioner to possess. The second equips the student with the set of skills that will be necessary for translating the intellectual training into effective action in practice. The third inculcates the student with the values and ideals of the profession. To master the complex tasks we expect of professionals, and to use that mastery in ways that are consistent with the profession's purpose, professional schools must integrate all three apprenticeships into their programs.
