Resident of the Quarter
As physicians, and particularly as
pediatricians, we often find ourselves
scratching our heads, scowling in
thought, and asking, “How can I
help?” We may be pondering this
on an individual level, like when our
patient can not afford their medicine
(that their insurance refuses to cover).
Alternatively, we may be considering
this question on a national level- for
instance, wondering how we can
cover the millions of uninsured in
need of health care. Still another
way to view this question is on the
community level, and this is where
my mind has most recently been
occupied.
I am a pediatric resident at the
Morehouse School of Medicine.
Our director approached us with
an interesting idea around the
beginning of the last academic year: a 50 hour per year community
service requirement. “Oh, sure”,
we thought, perhaps amidst a
combination of sarcasm and panic,
“being a resident is way too easy, as
it is. What we need are some more
requirements and less free time.”
Despite our initial trepidation and
concern, however, our director
held firm her ground. “We need
something that sets us apart,” she
said.
