The practice of humanism must be at the core of medicine, and this different model, entitled the biopsychosocial (BPS) model, permits and exemplifies this practice.

“When I saw a “frequent flier” in the ER as a nurse, I did my best to engage in a conversation. If I adhered solely to the biomedical method, I would have handed these patients their discharge instructions and left the room. However, I found that within each exchange is a piece of information about what keeps leading a patient back to the ED. By engaging on a biopsychosocial level, I was better able to understand the patients and their illness. Because of this, I could more thoroughly inform physicians and improve patient care. In medical school and throughout my future career as a physician, I intend to follow the BPS model and keep humanism at the core in order to provide holistic health care to my patients.”

Humanism in medicine, by Marc Incitti at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine

Activists disrupt poverty lesson, show councilman real thing

Activists disrupted a poverty lesson at City Hall, persuading the councilman who organized the event to instead go on a tour of one of the city's poorest neighborhoods.

"We don't need simulation here," Black Lives Matter activist Asa Khalif said after grabbing the microphone, his voice then rising. "We can take you to those places where people are actually in poverty and actually would need help and assistance."

Office of Training and Professional Development to Host Poverty Simulation

The DCS Office of Training and Professional Development invites you to participate in a Poverty Simulation happening in Jackson County.

During this unique learning opportunity, participants will gain a better understanding of the realities of poverty through role-play as members of low-income families. Participants are tasked with providing basic necessities and shelter on limited budget; and experience the obstacles faced in meeting these needs while navigating interactions with community members such as human service workers, police officers, bill collectors, job interviewers and others. This simulation is designed to sensitize participants to and create a broader awareness of the realities of poverty.

Date: January 15, 2020 Time: 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm Location: 128 Doe Creek Rd. Gainesboro, TN 38562

The overall goal was to help those who will soon be…

Rant

Okay so my college does this truly eye-opening and heart-wrenching Poverty Simulation. I volunteered to act as one of the "town services", and I was in charge of part of the towns' Social Services. People came to me to apply for benefits or to reapply. So after the "month" long simulation was completed within an hour, we held a discussion. Yo, I swear. Some people are just mind-blowingly, downright disrespectful. Sometimes it's very hard for me to digest that. While my professor was leading the discussion, she was checking out her nails, daydreaming, and then making impatient faces when this one girl kept chiming in about her experiences. I just watched her reactions to the discussion about poverty and our experiences during the simulation. Like, did you learn nothing in the last hour? Nothing at all? The poverty rate in York City alone is over 20%, with a lot of those being children living under severely impoverished conditions. And you have the audacity to prim your nails and roll your eyes at all of this? I'm slowly learning to allow other people to be. But when I see things like that, sometimes I can't help myself but get emotionally wrapped up for their lack of emotion. Where is your empathy? Where is your compassion?
