These problems were attributed, not only but also, to a loss of public trust and an increase in violent behaviour of patients and family members towards medical professionals in all walks of life. Recently, however, during the breakout of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID\u201019) pandemic in 2020, there were public expressions of appreciation and respect for health care workers that almost universally have been assessed as indications of a re\u2010establishment of public trust in physicians and appreciation for the medical professions' commitments. In other words, shared experiences of what society was in need of: the experience of a \u2018common good\u2019. Those responses during the COVID\u201019 pandemic increased positive feelings among practicing physicians, such as commitment, solidarity, competency, and experiences concerning obligations for the common good and a sense of belonging to one and the same community for all. Essentially, these responses of raised self\u2010awareness of commitment and solidarity between (potential) patients and medical personal point towards the social importance and power of these values and virtues. This shared domain in ethical sources of behaviour seems to hold a promise of overcoming gaps between the different spheres of doctors and patients. That promise justifies stressing the relevance of this shared domain of Virtue Ethics in the training of physicians.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this article, therefore, we shall make a plea for the relevance of Virtue Ethics before proposing an outline of an educational programme for Virtue Ethics training for medical students and residents. Let us start by very briefly presenting on Aristotelian virtues and its relevance to modern medicine in general, and during the current pandemic in particular.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We shall follow up this short presentation by a Virtue Ethics Training Model and the respective settings in which it takes place. This model has four steps as follows: (a) include moral character literacy in the formal curriculum; (b) provide ethics role modelling and informal training in moral character in the healthcare setting by senior staff; (c) create and apply regulatory guidelines regarding virtues and rules; and (d) assess success of training by evaluation of moral character of physicians.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Applying the four\u2010step model may contribute to strengthening the development of moral character in medical students and residents, and decrease the negative consequences of moral distress, burnout and compassion fatigue in health care personnel.
