What's the best qualities to become a doctor?
100402
Medicine is a physically and mentally demanding profession in which practitioners are asked to place the interests of their patients above their own. It requires commitment to a life of service and dedication to continuous learning. The rigorous four year medical school curriculum is where candidates begin to develop the qualities necessary for the practice of medicine. It is during this period of undergraduate medical education that the candidate acquires the foundation of knowledge, attitudes, skills and behaviors that he or she will need throughout his or her professional career. During this period, it is critical for the School of Medicine to evaluate whether the candidate is qualified to receive the degree of Doctor of Medicine. The School of Medicine has a responsibility to society to train physicians competent to care for their patients with critical judgment, broadly based knowledge and well honed technical skills. The abilities that physicians must possess to practice safely are reflected in the technical standards that follow. Thus, applicants and candidates must be able to meet these standards and successfully complete all identified requirements to be admitted to the School of Medicine, to progress through the curriculum and ultimately, to receive the degree of Doctor of Medicine from the University of Utah School of Medicine. Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Medicine must be capable of performing in five areas: Visual, Oral-Auditory, Motor, Cognitive, and Social. Reasonable accommodation will be made for some limitations in these areas, but a candidate must be able to function in an independent manner. \n\n\n\nVisual\nCandidates must be able to observe and participate in experiments in the basic sciences. (For example, physiologic and pharmacologic demonstrations and microscopic studies of microorganisms and tissues.)\n\nIn order to make proper clinical decisions, candidates must be able to observe a patient accurately. Candidates must be able to acquire information from written documents, films, slides or videos. Candidates must also be able to interpret X-ray and other graphic images, and digital or analog representations of physiologic phenomena, such as EKG's, with or without the use of assistive devices. Thus, functional use of vision is necessary.\n\n\nOral-Auditory\nCandidates must be able to communicate effectively and sensitively with patients. Candidates must also be able to communicate effectively and efficiently with other members of the health care team. In emergency situations, candidates must be able to understand and convey information essential for the safe and effective care of patients in a clear, unambiguous and rapid fashion. In addition, candidates must have the ability to relate information to and receive information from patients in a caring and confidential manner.\n\n\nMotor\nCandidates must possess the motor skills necessary to perform palpation, percussion, auscultation, and other diagnostic maneuvers. Candidates must be able to execute motor movements reasonably required to provide general and emergency medical care such as airway management, placement of intravenous catheters, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and application of pressure to control bleeding. These skills require coordination of both gross and fine muscular movements, equilibrium and integrated use of the senses of touch and vision.\n\n\nCognitive\nIn order to effectively solve clinical problems, candidates must be able to measure, calculate, reason, analyze, integrate and synthesize in a timely fashion. In addition, they must be able to comprehend three-dimensional relationships and to understand the spacial relationships of structures.\n\n\nSocial\nCandidates must possess the emotional health required for the full utilization of their intellectual abilities, for the exercise of good judgment, for the prompt completion of all responsibilities attendant to the diagnosis and care of patients, and for the developm

Hi there,\n\n   This is very interesting question. When you grow up and have all doctors all around you, your family and friends of your family, you get in to the "zone". And all you think about is becoming doctor just like your Father or Mother or Both. Some time peoples just like to help other people, and they choose to be a doctor eventhough there is nobody to support you or help you in being a doctor. I have 14 doctors in my family and just family, I'm not even counting my Dad's friends...That's be different ballpark number. But I wasn't interested in Medicine but Computers. \n\n  But I bet 40% of doctors comes from doctor family, they have somebody they can look up to. So when they grow up all they can think about is being a doctor. \n\n  But I have to say being an Engineer takes lots of Analytical Power out of your mind, rather than being a doctor. So if you think you have mind like a fox, you don't belong in Medicine, but you are perfect for Engineering. \n\n  And also if you know some doctors, you'll notice they are very simple people. They know every thing but they never question "WHY". \n\n Well I hope this answers your question....\n\ntoshreekar@yahoo.com

I believe that the best profession is really based on your interest level.  Are you a people person or do you prefer to do things on your own by yourself.  If you are a doctor, you have to have the ability to get along with all kinds of people and personalities and you need to know how to build rapport so your patients feel comfortable with you.  If you don’t work well with people, then you need a job where you can do your work without a lot of interactions with people.  An engineer uses instruments and designs things and contact with people in performing the work is limited.  So in deciding what job is best, you have to look at the job requirements and your individual ability to fit in.\n\nBoth make big bucks too,,,,a doctor averages around $100,000 as does an engineer.  It can also depend on specialization.  There are many kinds of engineers and there are many kinds of doctors.

Qualities such as someone that loves them self enough to always strive for better things.\n\nSomeone that understands the need for always learning, because their intellect is the one thing that no one can take from them.  \n\nSomeone that has found their place in the world and that place makes our world a better place to live in.  Even if the "more better" world is only a tinny bit "more better".\n\nSomeone that will leave an everlasting mark on the world or the people that they know because they realize that they are mortal and this is a type of immortality.  \n\nSomeone that can laugh when things go wrong in their life, knowing that now is the time to rebuild even bigger and better.  \n\nTo know love in all its forms and live life with gusto and appreciation for the miracle that everything really is.  And they are always excited about the miracle of life.\n\nSomeone that can be there for others with acts of kindness.\n\nSomeone that knows that there is no such thing as perfect, yet they use "perfect" as a guidepost for their own lives.  Striving to be perfect, however, knowing that perfection is not the most important thing.    \n\nSomeone like you that asks these questions of importance, it shows that you have some of these qualities and will do well in life.
