Eager

My department is calling for nomination of an award "The most eager to learn", to be given to a basic physician trainee during the Christmas party.

The criteria, as stated in the invitation, are:

1. attends most grand rounds
2. learning attitute
3. share knowledge with colleagues
4. eager to teach interns

I must say I have difficulty to understand the relevance of the last two points. People who love to share (or show off) their knowledge or teaching (alas, cheating somehow re-arranged) may not be keen to learn new things.

In fact, more often than not they are the ones who shut themselves in an ivory castle.
