The perspective of ‘a good doctor’ on university students

People consider a doctor’s attributes and competencies in treating patients to be important when defining what a “good” doctor is. To determine the necessary attributes to develop “good” doctors, we analyzed questionnaires that were answered by university students. There were 154 male and 318 female university students that answered the questionnaires. The religions of the students were 249 (52.8%) in atheist, 122 (25.8%) in christian, 49 (10.4%) in catholic, 45 (9.5%) in buddhist and 7 (1.5%) in others. They thoughts that 1st factor as an excellent doctor was skilful and knowledgeable in 53.2% and 2nd was to give full explanation in 32.6% and 3rd was kind in 13.8%. They thoughts as a reliable doctor that 1st was to work at university hospital and 2nd at general hospital and 3rd at middle-sized hospital and last at private clinics. They needed to educate a professional skill and knowledge and active communication with patients for nurturing a good doctor. They thoughts that the reliability for doctor was 3.4 and for medical service 3.3 by Likert 5 scales. University students thought that a good doctor was skilful and knowledgeable and to explain in detail with patients and their caregiver fluently.
