Look to Leadership column: When education becomes care

Every person who has ever taught a future healthcare professional will one day, in all likelihood, become a patient. It is one of the quiet truths of health professions education that the work of teaching is never purely academic. It ripples forward in ways we cannot always see, shaping the hands and minds that will one day care for us, our families and our communities.
