Hartman Value Profile, medical education, admissions testing, professionalism, axiological assessmentAbstract
The Hartman Value Profile (HVP) is employed as a test of the important value content or dimensions associated with commonly employed criteria for medical school admissions such as the GPS, MCAT, and other measures which serve as proven predictors of performance in medical schools. However, these measures fail to assess competence where professionalism and ethical sensitivity are concerned. By examining the value content of some commonly employed medical school admissions tests, this pilot study seeks to clear a path for future studies of values in the context of medical education and the practice of medicine employing advances in axiological science.References
