A sense of responsibility is demonstrated by actions, not by words.

Doctors have the responsibility to protect and promote the health of their patients. These responsibilities lie at the heart of the medical health sector, providing its moral foundation. Doctors should not be solely concerned with curing patients' physical ailments. They should also care for their patient's emotional and spiritual well-being. The phrase “sense of responsibility” is not very new in the dictionary of any educated individual. The concept behind it is simple and quite common for every person to take or impart. However, a sense of responsibility is a quality that helps determine an individual’s maturity and professionalism.

The success of any student or graduate depends on the kind of training he/she received. Students are taught to observe study and think in a particular way that enables them to grasp new information and implement it easily and effectively. Renowned educationist, philanthropist, and entrepreneur, Dr David K Pillai explains the importance of harboring a sense of responsibility quality among young medicos.

Note that Dr. David K Pillai is the chairman of Kings International Medical Academy (KIMA). Kings International Medical Academy (KIMA) in association with Davao medical school foundation is a premier FMGE/NEET coaching institute with a proven track record of delivering excellent results to aspiring medical students. Many students who completed their coaching under KIMA have done well in competitive exams, securing lucrative placements all over India.

KIMA also enables deserving candidates to pursue MBBS in the Philippines at a surprisingly low cost.

Let's dive back into the sense of responsibility. Here's why it is so important! 

Responsibility is an important trait that instills a sense of discipline, commitment, and order. It holds value in shaping an individual's behavior towards duty and accountability. A sense of responsibility and trust are demandable qualities in the healthcare sector, says Dr. David K Pillai. 

Dr. David K Pillai further added that the concept of responsibility has been well accepted by society in general, be it an individual or a group. Since medical students are the future guardians of society, it is extremely important to inculcate this value within them with the highest degree.

For the young students, after their medical training, they will serve their society and community. Sense of responsibility becomes critical to excel in their medical profession. It also helps them overcome certain biases and prejudices in society or at least makes them aware that they are vulnerable to such biases without proper knowledge of ethical values. Students at medical colleges should be taught about ethics, human rights, and discrimination. But it is only when they nurture a sense of responsibility among themselves that they can largely contribute towards making a better tomorrow.

Educationist Dr. David K Pilli believes that students' success depends on the kind of training they receive and not whether teachers are good or bad. According to Dr. Pilli, students should be taught to think in a particular way that enables them to easily grasp the needs of social responsibility.  

According to David K Pillai, “When you take the sense of responsibility for your actions, you are committing to be accountable. This includes providing information or taking steps toward the solution of other's problems.”

Responsibility is not just an ordinary word or something which we do every day. It is behavior. It is to think about our actions and their consequences before reaching for a decision. It is important for everyone, but more for the young minds who will make us proud by working responsibly, says Dr. David K Pillai.
