This paper focuses on role model and role modeling impact on undergraduate medical students and medical
teachers encountered in the School of Medicine, College of Health Sciences at Addis Ababa University.
To become successful in their education path and future endeavors, academic members have to proceed
with extensive phases with several potential role models. Students and teachers agreed on the lack of a
positive influence in terms of integrity, respect, and motivation. The paper analyzes a highly unpopular
topic that silently affected the academic member morale and efficiency. It incorporated different hypotheses
toward role-modeling assessed from the formal and informal study. The study identified two-perception
phases: teachers, and students; with a precise analogy of positive modeling, negative modeling, and role
modeling. Based on the causes and effects emphasized in the paper, the appointed problems were not
adequately addressed earlier. The difficulties might continue and harm the audacity of the students and
teachers to join the medical school when the country's demand rises. |
