Abstract

Charles H. Mayo stated “the great contribution we can make is to prepare the oncoming generations to think they can and will think for themselves”. The Hippocratic Oath also indicates that physicians have an obligation to transmit their knowledge to the next generation. Hence, it is important to find time and resources for education even in busy clinical practices.
