Aphorisms are didactic guides formed by individual experiences, and they
reflect life and living traditions. Aphorisms tell of both general life events
as well as aspects of certain occupations. In medical education, over the
centuries as a product of traditions, aphorisms have been used for teaching
both medical ethics and professions. Today, in evidence-based medicine, medical
aphorisms are accepted as traditional and are referred to only rarely, despite
the fact that a single aphorism can relate a life experience more succinctly
and effectively than can several sentences. In light of these data, teachers in
the field of medical education must generate new, valid, didactic, and effective
aphorisms incorporating their own professional experiences. In this study, we
aimed to suggest the use of medical aphorisms, which are easy to remember,
facilitate learning, and contribute to the formation of a professional identity
and professional sensitivity in medical education.
