Statement from Penn medical students in response to Dr. Stanley Goldfarb’s 9/12 piece in The Wall Street Journal
In 2019, a baby born in North Philadelphia will live on average twenty fewer years than a baby born in a wealthier neighborhood just four miles away. As medical students at the University of Pennsylvania, we are unable to ignore such inequalities as we care for patients in the city’s clinics and hospitals. We were therefore interested to read our former dean Stanley Goldfarb’s perspective on balancing scientific education with training to address health disparities, published in The Wall Street Journal last week.
In this piece, Dr. Goldfarb questions the role of social determinants of health in our curriculum — topics that include race, food insecurity, and gender identity — even though these factors have been scientifically proven to impact health outcomes. We want to learn about these issues, and public health concerns like firearms and climate change, so that we can address them. When doctors talk to patients about guns, those guns are more likely to be safely locked away. As physicians, we will need to respond to increased spread of infectious disease linked to climate change.
The walls of our medical school display a quote from Dr. William Osler, often referred to as the father of modern medicine: “The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.” As future physicians, we are honored to care for patients with medical and social needs, and appreciate that our curriculum prepares us for this responsibility. Learning to address health disparities enriches our scientific education and is precisely the “rigorous classroom instruction” Dr. Goldfarb desires.
