Role models can help make good doctors
Students identify compassion, openness, integrity, and good
relationships with patients as attributes they seek in their role models. Yet some senior doctors show poor attitudes and unethical behaviour that causes confusion and distress in doctors under their
supervision. Paice and colleagues (p 707) discuss whether role models
can still be an effective means of imparting professional values,
attitudes, and behaviours in a health service that is increasingly
sensitive to society's expectations.
