ABSTRACT

Contemporary medical education faces the challenge of training professionals who can sustain not only technical skills but also personal and ethical virtues that ensure humane and resilient practice. Fortitude, understood as the stable disposition to persevere in good despite adversity, is essential in this process. This article reflects on the importance of fortitude in medical education, integrating insights from philosophical tradition, David Isaacs’ pedagogy, and recent literature on professional resilience, mentoring, and the ethics of care.
