There is much to be excited about in the new curriculum, but we also want to remember that robust clinical skills, humility, integrity and authentic compassion should be the bedrock of every physician. We want to produce strong clinicians who are rooted in values and social responsibility and support them to flourish in different areas of medicine, so that we can truly say that the LKCMedicine graduate is the doctor you and I would like to have caring for us.
