When I say …‘humility’
Humility isn't weakness, it's the ethical expression of expertise. In #MedEd, it should be taught, practiced, and assessed as a core competency: embracing limits, inviting feedback, and challenging hierarchy to foster true collaboration
U.S. physician burnout and the proletarianization of U.S. doctors: A theoretical reframing
Examining the U.S. premed path as an example of discriminatory design & exploring the role(s) of capital
Forming Physicians: Evaluating the Opportunities and Benefits of Structured Integration of Humanities and Ethics into Medical Education
This paper offers a novel, qualitative approach to evaluating the outcomes of integrating humanities and ethics into a newly revised pre-clerkship medical education curriculum. The authors set out to evaluate medical students’ perceptions, learning outcomes, and growth in identity development. Led by a team of interdisciplinary scholars, this qualitative project examines multiple sources of student experience and perception data, including studen…
The Elephant in the Room: Examining the Connections between Humility and Social Status
Humility is most frequently discussed as a socially-valuable trait, and being perceived as humble is generally considered beneficial. Although there has been extensive scholarship expounding the concept of humility, previous work has yet to fully examine the role(s) of social status and stratification in regards to the perception of others’ humility and being humble. In this sense, there is an elephant in the room that must be acknowledged in ord…
Challenging the clinically-situated emotion-deficient version of empathy within medicine and medical education research
Medical School Socialization
The study of medical education as a process of professional socialization or formation, once the crown jewel in medical sociology's tiara, has fallen on relatively hard times. What once had helped to legitimate an emerging field of study in the 1950s and 1960s has largely ceased to be a fixture of sociological concern. Today, cutting‐edge work on socialization is more likely to be found in journals such as Administrative Science Quarterly , Acade…
Why It's Unjust to Expect Location-Specific, Language-Specific, or Population-Specific Service from Students with Underrepresented Minority or Low-Income Backgrounds
In this case we meet Amanda, a medical student of Native and Latin American ethnicity who receives financial aid. Her friends are surprised by her interest in an elite residency program. They suggest, rather, that with her language skills, ethnic background, and interest in social justice, she has a responsibility to work with underserved patient populations. In our commentary, we consider issues raised by the case and explore Amanda's friends' u…
Role theory and the practice of interprofessional education: A critical appraisal and a call to sociologists
Providers’ Perceptions of Medical Interpreter Services and Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Patients: Understanding the “Bigger Picture”
Patient’s ability to understand and effectively communicate health information facilitates disease prevention, self-management of illness, the adoption of healthy behaviors, and their ability to act on important public health information. However, patients who have limited English proficiency (LEP) are significantly disadvantaged. Previous studies have shown the benefit of medical interpreter services in bridging the health communication gap betw…
Conducting Evaluation Research in the Clinical Setting: “Know before You Dig”
Unexpected, yet intriguing, artifacts were unearthed while working with clinician-researchers to examine the potential benefits of an interprofessional-interdepartmental intervention introduced at a local hospital. This brief commentary is a reflection on those specific issues. The phrase “Know before You Dig” should be taken as an advisement to those interested in expanding their social research into the clinical setting to not only engage in pr…
Stunting professionalism: The potency and durability of the hidden curriculum within medical education
The pursuit of medical knowledge and the potential consequences of the hidden curriculum
This study explores how preclinical medical students experience particular elements of their training, specifically their pursuit for medical knowledge and how this may impact their attributes as well as their relations with those outside of the realm of medicine. Ten first-year and 10 second-year students of a US medical school were interviewed regarding their experiences with and perceptions of their medical training. The students reported a co…
