Faculty
How can I incorporate Patients & Families into my teaching?
Most faculty have some experience engaging patients in class, typically to share their story with students. Many of them are seeking out the patient & family perspective earlier in the curriculum planning process to ensure that the patient perspective is represented. Patient & Family Partners can be integrated as partners in the classroom and clinical setting, and can engage in roles ranging from speaker, panel member, small-group discussion facilitator, or participate as co-developer of patient and family-centered curriculum.

"Walk with Me has been a reminder about what matters most to me in the practice of medicine: connection, presence, and awareness of our patients’ whole stories."
