Healthy Healers


     “In 1999, after 8 years of curricular research and review, Indiana University School of Medicine restructured its formal curriculum and graduation requirements around 9 competencies deemed essential to excellent medical care:
1.    Effective communication
2.    Basic clinical skills
3.    Using science to guide diagnosis, management, therapeutics, and prevention
4.    Lifelong learning
5.    Self-awareness, self-care, and personal growth
6.    The social and community contexts of health care
7.    Moral reasoning and ethical judgment
8.    Problem solving
9.    Professionalism & role recognition.”
