I believe that before, doctors and nurses were taught to go in, find the symptoms and find a cure or solution, leaving no room to build personal relationships with their patients. Now schools offer curriculum that implements courses in ethics, communication, diversity, and management. These courses even teach coping skills that allow the caregivers to know how to communicate with a dying patientand how to express this to the patient’s family.
This is a good start to bring socialization into the healthcare field. In my experience from the courses I have taken, I have learned a few things about patient care and I know how it feels to need a doctor or healthcare provider tell me that they understand how I feel. I feel that socialization can be expanded by a tougher hiring process in my opinion though, there are so manypeople that are in the healthcare field that I feel do not need to be, that maybe they took the route of health care because a family member had, or because of the pay only. These people either need more training or need to be put in the back doing paperwork. Nurses and doctors should have strenuous training and personality checks completed before being hired as all of them should be personable, caring, and trustworthy. Someone who has a personality trait of going out of his or her way to treat or make a patient feel comfortable, for sometimes this may be the last person a patient may see in this world at all.
