Return to Healing: Common Sense Health Care
The Medical School We Need
Alan and Andy talk about how medical school does not prepare students to be whole-person doctors, focused on numbers and multiple choice answers and slices of the body. William Osler devised an ideal medical school at Hopkins before the Flexner Revolt took it down. In the Osler model students work with community primary care doctors from day one and throughout their entire medical school curriculum. They see patients and then learn the science behind the diseases and aspects of health they present with. We can easily fix medical school to produce doctors and not technicians, but it requires a knowledge that it is now very broken.
"The greater the ignorance, the greater the dogmatism." -William Osler, MD
