Medical students need to learn the potent medicine of empathy
Read this interesting article about empathy and how doctors need not forget who they are treating. The article also talks about the benefits of osteopathic medicine and caring for their patients. It also touches upon the "soft" skills medical schools are looking for in their applicants.
"In fact, the empathy levels of medical students actually decline as they progress through school. Many become emotionally disengaged from the people they’re caring for — and that disconnect can impair care."
