"Nah, nah, nah (fingers in ears, shaking their head) … I can’t hear you!" It seems like a scene from the movie "Office Space" or some '80s flick in which the teacher tunes out the more verbose of the taped-glasses student.

How do you become a surgeon? Really, there’s only the one way. Read all the textbooks you like, but sooner or later you’re going to have to grab a scalpel and get slicing. It’s a millennia-old method of on-the-job training, usually summarized with the worryingly abrupt expression “see one, do one, teach one.”

Seventeen years ago, the Institute of Medicine — now the National Academy of Medicine— identified patient-centeredness as one of six healthcare quality goals. Since then, the importance of a patient's experience has been embedded into the rubric of quality measurements for healthcare facilities. It naturally follows that medical education is tasked with teaching trainees the skills to provide patient-centered care, with an emphasis on communication and interpersonal sensitivity.
