Hello,
One of our IPE facilitators for Jan 24th, 2025 session just sent me a link to a piece written by a prosthodontist on their experience as a patient. She thought it aligned well with the Meteresky poem about person-centered care
and the value of relationship-focused care/services.
If you have a chance, please read the short piece entitled
“The Patient’s Perspective” by Mark Lin, DDS: https://www.oralhealthgroup.com/features/the-patients-perspective/
