About this episode
How can medical training cultivate character alongside clinical skill? Recorded at ASBH on October 17, 2026, Christopher Noda, Michael Egan, John Rhee and Katie Rowland explore virtue, humility and the role of community in helping physicians flourish. They discuss the Hippocratic Society's approach to character formation, share preliminary curriculum research and take audience questions on inclusivity, clinical training and institutional pressures.
The panel considers deliberate practice, role models, mentorship and community. Research findings are preliminary and subject to study-design and self-selection limitations.
