Annals of Family Medicine, 07/14/09
Rabow MW et al. - The mission statements were similar across different schools. Three major themes emerged, comprised of codes identified in 20% or more of the mission statements. The first theme, professional skills, includes dealing with the negatives of training, listening and empathy, growth and development. The second theme, personal qualities, includes wholeness, humility, and constancy/perfectionism. The third theme, scope of professional practice, includes physician relationships, positive emotions, healing, service, spirituality, and balance. Unlike the content of classic oaths and contemporary professionalism statements, the students’ statements dealt with fears, personal-professional balance, love, nonhierachical relationships, self-care, healing, and awe as key to being a physician. In their personal mission statements, this national cohort of medical students described an expanded view of physicianhood that includes such elements as presence, love, and awe. Medical school curricula may require adaptation to support the personal aspirations of those now entering the profession.
