What makes a good doctor?

- November 26, 2009

Dalhousie Medical School is in the midst of developing a new curriculum for its MD program. An important first step is to determine the essential qualities that must be developed in med students so that when they graduate, they’ll be well on their way to becoming good doctors.

Dean Tom Marrie is interested in hearing what kinds of qualities people value most in their family physician or specialist. What do you appreciate about your doctor? What do you think physicians of the future will need that might not be taught at med school today?
