Thank you, MKIced, for your input. You make a great point, one that is being furiously debated in medical schools across the country: should professionalism be taught at some point other than medical school, perhaps when it's more applicable. Please add more arguments when you can. You'll notice that I am just going to favor both sides for the moment.

Thank you, Kuklapolitan, for your input. For the moment, I won't be taking a stance until I see what more people have to say. But, I agree with your comments, especially the notion that professionalism should be taught in all disciplines. Please add more arguments!
