Medical student statement | Faculty advisor inquiry |
---|---|
‘I hear that family physicians make more errors and do not provide good patient care.’ | ‘Why might that be the perception at an academic medical center?’ ‘Where could you find a reasonable source of information to find the answer to that question?’ |
‘No one respects family doctors.’ | ‘What experiences led you to this conclusion?’ ‘How would you verify if this statement is true or not?’ ‘Where and with whom would you want to confirm impressions of family doctors?’ |
‘I want to do something more challenging than general medicine.’ | ‘How did you form the perception that general medicine is not challenging?’ ‘How is practicing medicine in an academic hospital different than community practice?’ |
