When Mental Strength Rather than Skills and Techniques Become the Primary Determinant for Success
Today was the final exam for graduating medical school students at the University of Tokyo. The final exam took the form of individual clinical simulations, where each student separately, in designated time periods, perform certain required medical checkup procedures in front of their professors. Students from other departments were called up to perform as mock patients for the final exam, and the author was luckily selected as one of the privileged (?) few who had the opportunity to witness firsthand the final examination process.
