Suffering can mean different things to different people.
What does it mean to students learning to be healers? Our research at the University of Washington and Penn State University shows that medical students report too little teaching on the identification and management of healing. Furthermore, they emphasize the suffering they experience throughout the rigors of their medical training.

From small-town practice to leadership in large institutions?
The early pioneers of the rebirth of Family Medicine in the US and Canada moved from their small-town practices to become department chairs, residency program directors, medical school deans, and executives in large healthcare systems. What is it about the lived experience of the family doctor that prepares them for such challenges? Can leaders with such strong connections to patients and communities help medicine find its way out of the current chaos?

PA – “Provider” or Professional?
In medical care – as an all relationships – words matter.
The term “provider “is a cynical corporate strategy to divide and conquer professionals and patients. We should all – across professions – insist on being called clinicians or professionals, with our own hard-earned credentials recognized.
See this new essay in the Physician Assistant Journal – JAAPA.
