Medical student statement | Faculty advisor inquiry |
---|---|
‘I heard family physicians get sued more often.’ | ‘How would you find out if that is indeed true?’ |
‘Faculty members say you don't make enough money in family medicine to pay back your loans.’ | ‘Whom could you speak with who might provide you with facts?’ ‘What do you think they mean by “enough”?’ |
‘Don't you only see cough and colds in family medicine?’ | ‘Why might someone have this perception?’ |
‘My microbiology professor told me I was too smart to go into family medicine.’ | ‘Why might the microbiology professor have that perception?’ ‘Where do they work?’ ‘What is their knowledge of family medicine?’ ‘What basis would they have to make this judgment?’ |
