Abstract

This editorial explores a fundamental question in curriculum reform: What is the single most important attribute for tomorrow’s doctors? It argues that to prepare graduates for a lifetime of change, we must reflect this not only in the curriculum and our teaching but in how we perceive knowledge itself.
