On January 31, 2025, assistant of the department of Propaedeutics of children’s diseases Sakim D.G. held a curatorial hour with group 446 of the specialty «General Medicine» on the topic «Image of a doctor». «Live for others, not for yourself – this is the true purpose of a doctor», wrote H.V. Gufeland, addressing young doctors. Indeed, a doctor must sacrifice not only his time, peace, but also his own health in order to achieve high results. Support, attention, compassion, respect – these are exactly the personal qualities that a doctor must be able to possess in his medical practice. Professionally necessary personal qualities of a doctor cannot arise spontaneously and at once. Without personal motivation and intention of a future doctor or young specialist, it is impossible to cultivate personal qualities in himself, deeply rooted at the level of mental attitudes, consciousness and subconsciousness, feelings and intellectual knowledge.
