| Summary: | The primary aim of medical education delivery in most nations across the world is to increase the number of medical doctors, with variable attention towards the quality of the produced graduates. The purpose of the current review was to understand the lacunae in medical education delivery and the necessity to impart value-based medical education to trainee medical students. An extensive search of all materials related to the topic was carried out on the PubMed search engine and a total of 18 articles were selected based upon their suitability with the current review objectives. Keywords used in the search include values and medical education in the title alone only. In our desire to learn novel tools, somewhere we are falling short in our compassion and empathy, and this is quite evident considering that there is a remarkable rise in the incidents of violence against doctors and burnouts among them. The presence of these values in a medical student or a doctor ensures the development of trust with patients, makes the process of healthcare delivery transparent, and ensures cooperation and respect from the patients, caregivers, and the other members of the health team. To conclude, the delivery of value-based medical education is very much essential considering the dynamics of healthcare. The period of medical training should be wisely utilized to train medical students on values so that upon completion of their training, these students become a vital cog in the delivery of value-based health care to the patients.
