Involvement in movies, music and literature helps the medical students (trainee doctors) to enhance their personal qualities as future physicians. A research has shown the connectivity between exposure to humanity and important personal qualities for future physicians. The study further informed that more time devoted to humanities during medical schooling had a significantly higher level of positive physician attributes such as sympathy, wisdom, self-efficiency, tolerance for uncertainty and emotional evaluation.
