From left, Preston Burke, Grey's Anatomy; Doogie Howser; Miranda Bailey,Grey's Anatomy; Hawkeye Pierce, MASH; and Gregory House.

"Dr. Cox on Scrubs because he’s sarcastic, has an unparalleled ability to ignore people, and exacts a dictatorial power over his residents because he has no power over his wife."
Alexie Riofrio, MSI

"Greg House from House, M.D. His sarcasm and sense of humor are what each frustrated medical student and doctor suppress in themselves for the sake of professionalism, but would love to express."
David Garras, MSIV

"Dr. Preston Burke is by far my favorite TV doctor. Yes, he is on one of the most medically inaccurate shows, Grey’s Anatomy. However, Dr. Burke is the moral compass of the show. His spiritual determination and humble demeanor exemplifies why many of us wanted to become physicians. I love his levelheadedness and calmness under pressure, a few of the many skills I hope to develop next year during residency."
Christopher Young, MSIV

"Dr. Gregory House, from Fox’s House, M.D. House is a far cry from a role model: while a peerless diagnostician, House shows, tragically and comically, the flaw of divorcing that medical intellect from common human empathy. But even in the depths of House’s estrangement from all other people, his vulnerability and humanism, briefly yet inevitably, shine through."
Josh Lacsina, MSIII

"Dr. Miranda Bailey of Grey’s Anatomy—she’s the “baddest” surgeon on TV!"
Marcella Daniel, MSIV

"Dr. Miranda Bailey is my favorite TV doctor because she so perfectly exudes the compassion, control, and strength that I hope to posses in my future as a physician."
Emeline Aviki, MSI

"Dr. Cox - He’s realistically bitter."
Brett Coolman, MSII

" I’d have to say Doogie Howser, M.D. He has the clinical judgement of a seasoned physician with the sensibility and naivete of an eighteen-year-old that hasn’t been corrupted by age or experience."
Izzy Nosnik, MSIV

"Dr. Yang on Grey’s Anatomy is my favorite because she is so committed
to what she does and she’s so comfortable being a gunner."
Ruby Lekwauwa, MSI

"Hawkeye from MASH, one of the original and still best doctors to grace the small screen."
Javi Mixco, MSIV

"Definately McDreamy!"
Melanie Greenman, MSIII

"JD (John Dorian) on Scrubs—his sense of humor and the hilarious sense of personal tragedy that he always seems to carry around (“drama queen” tendencies)."
Krupal Shah, MSIII

"Dr. Nick Riviera from the Simpsons—he was a Sigma Chi."
Beau Munoz, MSI

"Dr. Beverly Crusher, from Star Trek The Next Generation! I’m almost too embarassed to admit it, let alone explain it."
Robin Guthrie, MSIV
