The renewal of medical curricula generally arises from emerging
pedagogies (e.g. problem-based learning), new technologies (e.g.
high fidelity simulation), or prevailing sociocultural forces (e.g.
complexity of health care delivery and team-based care).
Approximately 15 years ago, a team of physicians and administrators
sought to take this further: by considering the very nature of
medical practice and the patient-physician relationship that is the
context and conduit of caring and care, they restructured the
composition and function of medical education. This book,
Physicianship and the Rebirth of Medical Education, is the
authoritative publication on the philosophy, design, and
implementation of this new curriculum. From first year to
graduation, this book reimagines the education of medical students
in its entire scope. It discusses the epistemology of clinical
practice and pedagogical methods and addresses pragmatic issues of
curricular implementation. The educational blueprint presented in
the book rests on a new definition of sickness, one focused on
impairments of function as the primary issue of concern for both
patients and their care givers. This perspective avoids the common
shift of medical attention from persons to diseases, and thus
provides the basis for an authentic and robust patient-centered
mindset. The title of the book refers to a "rebirth." This implies
that there was a previous "birth." Indeed, the critical ingredients
of medical education were articulated historically and many
features emanate from a time-honored apprenticeship model. This
book recognizes in William Osler and his "natural method of
teaching the subject of medicine" the foundational elements for
teaching physicianship. The practice of medicine is indelibly
relational and, in turn, medical education is an intellectual and
an emotional journey that is rooted in clinical relationships. As
this book shows, medicine must unfold in the context of patient
care; patients, not diseases, should be the center of attention.
