In recent years, pre-medical students have trended toward taking a "gap year" between college and medical school. These future physicians represent a highly qualified and motivated, but often underutilized workforce. At Kuchnir Dermatology, a new program is redefining the gap year by offering future physicians the opportunity to join the practice for a fourteen-month commitment as a Patient Care Coordinator.
Dr. Louis Kuchnir (MIT '87 alum) and his Patient Care Coordinator, Lauren, will answer questions and share experiences in an open dialogue about day to day life in a busy dermatology clinic. There will also be the opportunity to learn more about the gap year program.

The Joy of Clinical Medicine

Back when doctors were among the wealthiest Americans, they could have retired early, but instead they tended to work until their own health failed. Lately, clinical medicine is cast as an unrewarding profession. Observers point to how "jackpot justice" is causing a malpractice crisis while cost-savings programs developed by managed care bureaucracies are blamed for destabilizing the doctor-patient relationship.
Louis Kuchnir, MD, PhD and MIT '87 alum will try to inspire those of you interested in becoming clinicians by explaining how the rewards of medical practice are so enormous that they outweigh the indignities that dominate the headlines. In the end, modern doctors are still blessed with the same rewards as our predecessors, while technology expands our potential even beyond their dreams.
