In recent months, certifying boards have taken further steps to uphold their accountability by addressing unprofessional behavior and pledging to withdraw or deny certification to physicians who publicly share information that is directly contrary to the prevailing medical evidence. The medical profession is dealing with its own trust challenges as it negotiates the tensions between freedom, regulation, and professionalism. Our relationships with our physicians feel more fragile when the practice of medicine is politicized, and misinformation compounds our uncertainty and confusion about our health choices.Īs an independent volunteer public (non-physician) member of the Board of Directors of ABMS (the American Board of Medical Specialties), a nonprofit organization that oversees the standards for physician certification across 24 medical specialties (the American Osteopathic Association is another), I have a window into what happens inside the network of institutions that oversee the practice of medicine in the United States. Yet as our social fabric continues to fray, even the most trusted relationships come under strain. It is at the heart of our relationships with our physicians and care teams and an essential foundation for the institution of medicine. I’ve learned that trust is an asset our health system cannot do without. During two decades as a patient and citizen advocate, I’ve encountered the mistrust that arises when systems that are supposed to protect us cause harm. There’s unprecedented angst, uncertainty, and mistrust. “How can I find a doctor I can trust?” I keep hearing this question-from those feeling confused about a vaccination decision to those looking for an ob/gyn who shares their personal values. We would like to hear about your innovations, ideas, workshops, conferences towards the aim of fostering professionalism to ultimately support excellent patient and family care and health research. This may include a focus on ethics, humanities, education and remediation.
