Swedish term or phrase: engagemang för människor

A doctor needs to have lengthy training and "engagemang för människor"

Any better ideas than "an interest in people"?

I wondered about empathy but decided it's not quite the same thing. Or is it?

(Tried this earlier as a non-PRO question but got no response, perhaps nobody sees non-PRO questions???)

Asker: Good one, yes, this was another possibility we discussed. But is it actually what the Swedish means? Is a people person not more sociable than caring?
