We are two medical students. For one of us, medical school is just beginning; for the other, it is coming to an end. Our experiences are different, but our message is the same. Professionalism is a vital component in the field of medicine. Characteristics such as trustworthiness, compassion, integrity, honesty, leadership, and social responsibility must be embraced by the next generation of doctors so the future healthcare system will be one that patients and physicians admire and respect. To reach this goal, it is important to understand how medical students today view professionalism and how such a construct is integrated into medical education. We hope to provide insight into this area by reflecting on the lessons we have learned regarding professionalism in medical school. Professionalism, like the medical field itself, is a life-long learning process. By encouraging this process early in medical training, future doctors will be able to provide their patients with highest quality care.
我们是两名医学生。对于我们中的一人来说，医学院学习才刚刚开始；而对于另一人来说，则即将结束。我们的经历不同，但传达的信息是相同的。专业素养是医学领域的一个重要组成部分。诸如可信赖、有同情心、正直、诚实、领导力和社会责任等特质，必须被下一代医生所秉持，这样未来的医疗体系才会成为一个患者和医生都赞赏和尊重的体系。为了实现这一目标，了解当今医学生如何看待专业素养以及这种理念如何融入医学教育很重要。我们希望通过反思在医学院学到的关于专业素养的经验教训，为这一领域提供见解。专业素养，就像医学领域本身一样，是一个终身学习的过程。通过在医学培训早期鼓励这一过程，未来的医生将能够为患者提供最高质量的护理。
