CERI Research Seminar
TITLE: The Doctor Patient Relationship: Legal and Genealogical Examination
PRESENTER: Wael Haddara
ABSTRACT
The Doctor Patient Relationship (DPR) is heavily emphasized in medical education, especially in the preclinical years. Its pedigree is routinely traced to ancient times and its centrality to the performance of medicine is unquestioned, occupying a place in the pantheon of medical god-terms along with terms like altruism and professionalism. It has been described variously as the heart of medicine, as a sanctified relationship and as a necessary component of the healing process. The term is associated with imagery from the arts and popular cultures and evokes archetypal images of a personal, individualized relationship between a sage-like figure and a devotee.
This presentation will describe a new program of research aimed at excavating the origins and constructions of the DPR. I will present findings from two related areas of research and seek feedback on the methodology and findings to date
