What Makes a Good Physician? - Dr. Jerry Balentine, Dean of New York Institute of Technology’s College of Osteopathic Medicine: Dr. Jerry Balentine thinks a lot about the qualities successful medical students and physicians need. “I think all medical schools wish there was a way of testing who's going to be a great physician, but there's just no such test, so we use markers such as the MCATs to make sure that they're successful academically.” But he knows those markers don’t capture aspects of a person’s competence, character or experience that would make them a good fit for the profession. Qualities such as empathy, passion and grit are high on his list. In fact, he believes empathy is so important to practicing medicine that it’s both a research interest and something he builds into the learning experience at New York Institute of Technology’s College of Osteopathic Medicine from “day one.” Join Balentine and host Shiv Gaglani as they explore the growth of DO programs, the challeng by Raise the Line

As he puts it, “More data doesn't necessarily mean more knowledge.” As president of Global Clinical Solutions at Elsevier and CEO of Healthcare for LexisNexis Risk Solutions, Schoeller is in a unique position to see how all of this data can be leveraged in better ways to support learners, practitioners, patients and the healthcare system at large. “On the LexisNexis side, we have a mission to create healthier communities and on the Elsevier side, it's to improve every patient outcome.
