Not just a Doctor, but also a Teacher

Not just a doctor, but also a teacher

Etymologically, the word ‘doctor’ has been derived from the Latin word ‘docere’ which means to teach. Thus, it can be said that a doctor at his/her core is a teacher. Healer, resident, consultant, attending, professor, and so on are just numerous other layers that must not eclipse a doctor’s basic identity that is being a teacher.

But do not mistake this for simply teaching medical students and residents, teaching patients is just as important. Doctors want to and try their best to educate patients on various aspects but fail to do so many times.

The reason for this is the lack of time available at your disposal and the large volume of patients you have to see on a daily basis. Not just doctors, hospitals too aren’t able to provide easy-to-understand information to patients to raise awareness of diseases, their prevention and treatment.

It is said that a doctor never stops learning, similarly, you’re always imparting knowledge as well. This, however, happens orally and your patients may or may not remember it all the time. We at WhiteCoats completely understand this dilemma and can help you educate your patients along with helping you learn. (Download WhiteCoats and access patients learning support)
