New doctrine of economic order of corporate transformation of health care has battered ‘public trust in medicine’ and ‘traditional values and behaviour’ (Woolf, 2009; WPRCP, 2005; Chiu et al, 2010); causing extensive injury to medical professionalism (Sullivan, 1999; Swick et al, 1999) These reforms in health care especially in modern world and slowly developing countries generate a requirement for curricular modification to promote professionalism among medical students (Arnold and Stern, 2006; Sullivan, 2000; Cruess and Cruess, 2000).
