Identifying essential competencies for medical students

“…Several participants also believed that the awareness of and practices of medical ethics could be developed in later stages of the curriculum and clinical sessions. This result contradicts findings from another study, in which medical students from the same college appreciated and demonstrated their development of ethical thinking through a course focusing on medical humanity (Al Azmeh and Du, 2018). This divergence indicates that further communication is needed among medical educators and administrators regarding when and how to facilitate Ihsan and other needed competencies in the course of medical education.…”
