Medical Education Reform: Patient-Centered Learner, Lowered Costs--True Healthcare Reform - 0 views

  •  
    Patient Centered Learning: The solution is to permit alternatives to rigid institutions, utilize free internet programs, and have medical students assist practicing physicians by assisting practicing physicians in taking patient histories. These students would offer valuable, free services to doctors. At the same time, they would have a vivid learning experience by spending several hours each day interacting with actual patients. The Cost Of Medical Education Would Be Negligible. The expense of healthcare is directly proportional to the cost of the doctor's education. With the institutional bottleneck gone, there would be a greater number of doctors, and the cost of healthcare would plummet.

    My "argument" against this guy's lazy, reactionary blog post is at the very bottom of the page, dated April 12, 2009. I think it's the longest comment he's received so far, too. Just look for a verbose passage. That's my rant against his reactionary, unsupported claims against NDs.
