What do Patients Believe Makes a Good Doctor? By Kalli Davis, Ryan Carbone, Justin Fredericks, Alex Basdeo and Joshua Lujan
This question was posted as a short, single-question survey on social media and encouraged people to respond and share. The results were submitted to the 2021 Texas Osteopathic Medical Association Midwinter Conference Student/Resident poster competition in the category of “Original Research”. The poster presentation by Kalli Davis, a second-year medical student at the University of the Incarnate Word School of Osteopathic Medicine, was awarded first place. The project was developed as part of the School of Medicine Community Engagement Partnership, which is built into the curriculum requirements for second year medical students. This scholarly project provides students the opportunity to develop research under the guidance of experienced faculty.
“What Makes a Good Doctor: A Qualitative Study of Patient Perspectives”, was developed by five learners: Kalli Davis, Ryan Carbone, Justin Fredericks, Alex Basdeo and Joshua Lujan; and was overseen by two faculty members, Adam Ratner, MD and Arunabh Bhattacharya, PhD.
