Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Three interrelated personal qualities of physicians are believed important for sensitive patient care and optimal individual adjustment to the stresses of medical practice: maturity, social competence, and moderation in aggressive competitive (exaggerated "type A" behavior). Despite widespread recognition of the importance of these qualities by patients and physicians alike, they have commonly been neglected in favor of scientific and scholastic excellence in the selection process for medical schools. In addition, some aspects of premedical and medical education may actually have an adverse influence on these personal qualities of future physicians. More emphasis in premedical and medical education on the importance of physicians' noncognitive abilities, and more individualized feedback to students and residents on the interactions between their personal qualities and their success and happiness as physicians, are needed. |
