The Patient as Teacher program uses this patient-centred approach to promote and foster humanism in medicine. Patient-driven sessions are led by 2-3 cancer survivors who share their personal stories, experiences with the health care system, and perspectives on how their illness has impacted their lives. Students listen, engage in dialogue, and ask questions. This collaboration actively involves patients and survivors in the education process as partners in teaching, feedback, and evaluation.
