3. WHAT DO YOU UNDERSTAND ARE SOCIETY’S
EXPECTATIONS FROM A DOCTOR?
A REQUIREMENT IS SOMETHING
THAT IS NECESSARY OR
MANDATORY, AND IT USUALLY
REFERS TO A SPECIFIC CONDITION
OR QUALITY THAT MUST BE MET.
IT IS A SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE,
AND VERIFIABLE STATEMENT OF
WHAT IS NEEDED TO FULFILL A
PARTICULAR GOAL OR OBJECTIVE.
SO, A REQUIREMENT IS
SOMETHING THAT MUST BE MET,
WHILE
AN EXPECTATION IS SOMETHING
THAT IS DESIRED OR HOPED FOR.
