Can We Fix the Broken System? The Importance of Teaching a Standardized Physician Advocacy Curriculum at the Resident Level
When I work with early third year medical students in the residency clinic, I notice that they focus on taking thorough clinical histories to better understand the etiology of a patient’s complaints so that the correct diagnosis and treatment can be identified. As students’ progress from the classroom to the clinical setting, they start to understand that getting to the “correct answer” is not even half the battle when providing comprehensive health care. In fact, research has shown that when looking at various drivers of health, including health behavior, social and economic environment, physical environment, and clinical care, clinical care only accounts for about 20% of a person’s health outcomes.1
