Description
Nagina Khan and ten co-authors gather what medical students themselves say about learning professionalism. Their 2025 review notes that professionalism sits at the heart of patient experience, yet training often stresses standard frameworks over the relational side of care. Student views are rarely asked, even though today's students shape tomorrow's care. The team searched four databases for studies from 2010 to 2023 and kept fifty-four.
Students named role modeling by senior clinicians as the strongest teacher, joined by reflection, patient stories, and supportive settings. Barriers included uneven teaching, a clash between the formal curriculum and behavior seen on the wards, and too little structured feedback. Learning bit deepest when teaching was woven into real patient care. Students described professionalism as lived relations (empathy, respect, honesty, and accountability) rather than rules. The authors urge curricula built around modeling, reflection, and patient narratives.
