Abstract:
Reflective capacity is a very important tool of assessment for health professionals. Re-flective writing (RW) curriculum, aiming at promoting reflective capacity, is proliferating within American medical education. This paper generalizes the training process of RW capacity, its contents and evaluation tool. It discusses the meaningfulness of RW curriculum in improving doctor-patient relationship and profes-sionalism and developing academic goals. For better practice, the paper makes suggestions that we should reform our traditional medical education, develop interdisciplinary teams of teachers and evaluation tool and incorporate RW curriculum into continuing medical education.
