Sir Francis Peabody
AADMD INFO BLAST - FOR AADMD MEMBERS
Many clinicians have heard the quote, "The secret to the care of the patient is in caring for the patient."
Few appreciate or know anything about the physician who first coined that phrase. First published in the 1920's this "lecture" is still as inspiring as it was when Harvard medical students first heard it on October 21, 1926.
Professor Peabody would have made one "hellofa" AADMD member!

Article on Simulated Patients
AADMD INFO BLAST - FOR AADMD MEMBERS
The use of "stimulated patients with developmental disabilities" is growing in popularity. It certainly is as close to the "real deal" as possible in the arena of simulations. This article from a British medical education journal describes a program at St. George's Hospital School of Medicine.
