Abstract

In a recent child psychiatry faculty development discussion, I reflected with my colleagues on the new generation of emerging doctors. One colleague noted that these individuals were going to change medicine as we know it. The change, we all discussed, was in relation to the entire structure and practice of medicine, especially around social justice and health equity. Gone will be the days of steeped hierarchies and “pimping” rounds, of being bystanders to injustice, of disconnecting from systemic change. Remember that shocking and revealing book, The House of God, published in 1978? (Full disclosure, I couldn’t stomach more than a chapter when I tried to read it in medical school.) Dehumanizing practice, tradition, and structure must become a thing of the past.
