Medical education trains us in anatomy, pathology, pharmacology… but what about communication or real-world empathy?
Tell us one crucial skill or lesson you’ve learned outside the textbook that has made you a better healthcare professional or human being.
You can reflect on things like:
Learning to say no without guilt
Navigating empathy burnout
Understanding how to listen when patients don’t speak
Cultural sensitivity in healthcare
What you learned from patients, not professors.
