I recently launched a new SAAHE initiative where we have conversations with people doing interesting work in health professions education.
In this conversation, I talk to Elize Archer, a recent PhD graduate from the University of Stellenbosch. Elize conducted her research on patient-centred approaches to clinical practice among medical students. In our conversation, we discuss different aspects of patient-centred practice, how to think about developing this mindset in students, and some of the challenges to its implementation.
