Our Mayo Clinic faculty are teaching medical students at the University of Puerto Rico in San Juan this week. Here are some questions these incredible students have asked.
“If you had a choice, what ONE social determinant of health would you fix?”
“As a heterosexual white man who is going to be a physician, how would you recommend I prepare to care for all my patients?”
“What are some ways to increase research participation by financially disadvantaged patients?”
“Children differ from adults in their physiology. How do we appropriately consent pediatric patients?”
“What are key barriers to taking a new therapeutic option from basic science studies to clinical research in people?”
