Effect of an Educational Intervention on Incorporation of Ignatian Values into Continuing Medical Education at a Jesuit Medical School

Abstract

Purpose •Ignatian values are complex and protean, but include such constructs as caring for the whole patient, special consideration for those most in need, continually striving to do more and to be better, and concern for justice. •Although a mission of Jesuit medical schools is to incorporate these values into continuing medical education (CME), systematic tools specifically addressing these concepts are lacking. •We are assessing the utility of a structured intervention on the inclusion of Ignatian values into CME.
