This article defends the centrality of practical wisdom in medical practice by building on a monistic view of moral virtue, termed the "Aretai model," according to which possession of practical wisdom is necessary and sufficient for virtuousness, grounding both moral growth and effective moral behavior. From this perspective, we argue that practical wisdom should be conceived as a cross-situational ethical expertise consisting of four skills:moral perception, moral deliberation, emotion regulation, and moral motivation. Conceiving of practical wisdom as both overall virtuousness and ethical expertise makes it possible to deal adequately with the uniqueness of concrete ethically relevant situations.

- Developing an automatic acne grading system using machine learning requires extensive data and labeling, but the authors created a model that performs well on low-resolution images from fewer patients with uneven acne severity distribution.
- The study utilized 1,374 paired images from 391 patients, expertly labeled, to train a deep learning model which achieved 66.67% accuracy on the test set.
- The results suggest that this model can be a viable tool for medical practitioners and provide standardized assessments for patients, highlighting its potential despite limited data.
