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?’
