Director of Institute of Evolutionary Medicine and Dean of the Medical Faculty at the University of Zurich
“Medicine, by its very nature, cannot be generalized or divorced from the diverse backgrounds of both patients and physicians. These elements shape a doctor’s values, learning process, and professional development.
For Example, during my time in Singapore, I observed how medicine is structured within a society shaped by Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Taoism, and Hinduism.
Today, mentorship in medicine is more crucial than ever. Medical students shall be trained through a rigorous system of mentorship, where knowledge and clinical expertise are passed down from senior physicians to new generations of students and young clinicians.”
