What Medical Training Doesn’t Teach You — But Should

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.
