Health Coaching module: https://edhub.ama-assn.org/steps Quote: "..health coaching emphasises the importance of the patient being the expert in their own lives, rather than affirming the paternalistic viewpoint that ‘clinicians know best,’ instilled in us all ‘from an early age.’ This emphasis continues to place the patient in the subordinate position that ‘clinicians know best’ rather than in an equal partnership."
