Abstract

All through the history of medical education there has been major concern with the physician's personality. The Oath of Hippocrates is primarily a code of ethics. Present day medical education uses involved, if not always effective, techniques for evaluating the personality of the ap- plicant. Even in the era of modern scientific progress, differentiation is made between the "science" and the "art" of medicine.
