Strong advocate of medical education for patients and trainees
I believe it is important to educate patients on conditions that they may or may not have in order for them to be informed advocates of their own health. Not only will this foster and improve the trust between patients and physicians, but [it] will also increase a patient's motivation for health improvement.
