How do physicians react to Baker-Blais Educational Programs?
For the most part, very positively. There will always be physicians who believe it is their exclusive role to educate patients. However, the Internet has changed this dramatically and its success is fast becoming its demise. There is now so much information available on the net that patients are overwhelmed and no longer know what is credible. Our educational programs are written especially for patients and some components of the program are available in physicians’ waiting rooms. Patients who are educated about their conditions are better prepared for their physician visit and are better able to provide the physician with a detailed history and to ask relevant questions. This is our approach and it benefits both the patient and physician.
