Abstract:
The current medical education curricula are designed to address the competencies that result in the graduation of holistic healthcare professionals. The global competency frameworks have highlighted the outcomes of future doctors that not only incorporate necessary medical knowledge and procedural skills but also equip the graduates with human skills of professionalism, ethics, leadership, lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and problem solvers. This has led to the incorporation of these domains in the training curricula of undergraduate medical education in Pakistani universities as well. The focus of this paper is to highlight the structure of a professionalism, ethics, research, and leadership skills module that can be implemented in health professions education to be able to graduate a humanistic doctor who can provide holistic care to the community.
