How Do Doctors Learn To Be The Way They Are ?

Readings from "Becoming a Doctor. Re-Membering a Medical Education", with poetry and conversation. Imagining a different kind of medicine.
About this Event

Do you sometimes wonder why doctors are the way they are? How does medical education affect them, as persons? How does a doctor learn to relate to a patient? Join us as we explore these questions through readings from a recent book, Becoming a Doctor. Re-Membering a Medical Education, together with poetry, from Jenny Lewis and friends, and discussion. We hope you'll share some of your perceptions and come away with new ideas. You’re welcome if you’ve ever been a patient, a doctor, another kind of healthcare worker, an anxious relative, a bewildered student, or a despairing professor. ,
