  3. AIMS • This workshop aims to explore what inspires us to do the work we do, and encourage us to take active steps to stay inspired amid the challenges of modern general practice. It will explore the powerful role of modelling in GP training, and will challenge and encourage us to apply this understanding to become truly inspiring role models for the next generation of GPs

  4. OBJECTIVES • Have identified what inspires you to do the work you do • Have developed strategies for staying inspired • Have identified an inspiring role model, and how this has influenced you • Understand the importance of good role modelling in medical education • Understand the process of role modelling • Have identified the characteristics of effective role modelling • Have developed a strategy for becoming a more effective and inspiring role model

  5. Example is not the main thing in influencing others, it is the only thing. ALBERT SCHWEITZER

  6. “ We must acknowledge . . . that the most important, indeed the only, thing we have to offer our students is ourselves. Everything else they can read in a book.” D C TOSTESON

  7. Role models inspire and teach by example, often while they are doing other things. Paice E, Heard S, Moss F. How important are role models in making good doctors? BMJ2002;325:707-10.

  8. The best teachers of humanity are the lives of great men.Charles H Fowler

  9. People seldom improve when they have no other model but themselves to copy.Oliver Goldsmith

  10. The most important single influence in the life of a person is another person ... who is worthy of emulation.Paul D Shafer

  11. One filled with joy preaches without preaching.Mother Theresa

  12. Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.Mark Twain

  13. Example has more followers than reason.Christian Bovee

  14. If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.Catherine Aird

  15. Medical students receive a great variety of messages delivered by many agents, both inside and outside the medical school, with little coherence or congruence among them. Students pick and choose traits from various models, internalizing an amalgam of values. As students advance in their studies and gain more experience, they increasingly develop their own criteria for judging the appropriateness of different values and behaviors. Shuval JT, Adler S. The role of models in professional socialization. Soc Sci Med. 1980;14A:5-14.

  16. Although role modelling is at the heart of “character formation,” medical students and junior doctors have observed that many clinical teachers are poor role models. In one study less than half of the teachers were identified as positive role models Wright SM, Kern DE, Kolodner K, Howard DM, Brancati F L. Attributes of excellent attending-physician role models. N Engl J Med1998;339:1986-93.

  17. In a national survey of medical school deans on students' development of high professional standards, 82% ranked role modeling of faculty and residents as the greatest influence. Bickel J. Promoting Medical Students' Ethical Development: A Resource Guide. Washington, DC: Association of American Medical Colleges, 1993.

  18. In one study, 90% of students identified one or more physician role models during medical school. Role models, once identified, were perceived as such for the remainder of medical school by half of the students; the other half changed their primary role models at least once. On average, each student listed three to seven physicians. Wright S, Wong A, Newill C. The impact of role models on medical students. J Gen Intern Med. 1997;12:53-6.
