Hi Angelina: Caring and kindness (compassion and empathy) are important traits in the medical profession, and students can be taught the importance of, and some methods of awareness. I personally think when students possess these traits naturally, they'll make better medical professionals. These skills are great and if can be incorporated into the curriculum, all the better. For me, the goal is transfering to students our knowledge based on past educatin, training, work experience, and skillful expertise in order for the student to be successful in the work setting.
