Abstract:
The results of a study to determine the qualities and characteristics necessary for physicians to demonstrate in their practice reinforce the need for a medical school to emphasize the non-cognitive domain in its curriculum. The behaviors described in this study were written as educational objectives so that they could be evaluated with less subjectivity.
