Reflection- Week 6: Empowering Patients
Over the next several weeks, you will be asked to reflect on your learning. This is an opportunity to tie together what we are learning to real life examples and experiences.
Though this can be treated as a journal, and you may use the first person, you are still expected to support your ideas with references and use appropriate APA formatting and citation.
This week, please reflect on how the internet and online resources have changed the patient dynamic. Think about e-patient Dave. Discuss the benefits of patients being more engaged and empowered consumers, as well as some of the potential downfalls.
