What added value does the profession of doctor represent in today's society? Does this value change with the passing of time? Can we evoke values and project them for future generations of doctors? Vocation, respect for the patient, professional ethics, humane treatment, recognising limits, language, continued training, manners and behaviour, teamwork – all of these are elements that could represent a useful portfolio. But how can we convey them to young students? What kind of medical professionals do we want to create? What areas and contents should be included to ensure a more humane, humanist training for the future of medicine?
