This study confirms the association between exposure to the humanities and both a higher level of students' positive qualities and a lower level of adverse traits. These findings may carry implications for medical school recruitment and curriculum design. "[Science and humanities are] twin berries on one stem, grievous damage has been done to both in regarding [them]... in any other light than complemental." (William Osler, Br Med J. 1919;2:1-7).

Many QI curricula in this study inadequately addressed QI educational objectives and had relatively weak research quality. Educators seeking to improve QI curricula should use recommended curricular and reporting guidelines, stronger methodologic rigor through development and use of validated instruments, available QI resources already present in health care settings, and outside funding opportunities.
