The goals of this article are to present a framework, based on John Gregory's (1724-1773) concept of professionalism, for advising beginning medical students about what is important to training and to the practice of medicine.
The author presents Gregory's concept of professionalism with an emphasis on the related virtues. Members of the editorial board of Academic Psychiatry were also surveyed for their advice for beginning students.
There are four fundamental virtues that originated from Greogory's concept of professionalism: integrity, compassion, self-effacement, and self-sacrifice. Medical students should actively cultivate these virtues in order to promote excellence in every clinical encounter.
These four fundamental virtues together obligate medical students to learn and practice in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine and to protect and promote the interests of patients.
本文旨在提出一个基于约翰·格雷戈里（1724 - 1773）的职业精神概念的框架，为刚开始学医的学生提供有关医学培训及行医中重要事项的建议。
作者阐述了格雷戈里的职业精神概念，并着重强调了相关美德。还对《学术精神病学》编辑委员会成员进行了调查，以获取他们对新生的建议。
源自格雷戈里职业精神概念的有四项基本美德：正直、同情心、谦逊和自我牺牲。医学生应积极培养这些美德，以便在每次临床接触中追求卓越。
这四项基本美德共同要求医学生按照循证医学原则学习和实践，并保护和促进患者的利益。
