Question Health Care

About Question Health Care

The Question Health Care Podcast investigates topics in health care you won't usually find in popular media or in standard health professions education curricula. The QHC Podcast seeks to model good questioning and conversation practices and also to model some of the intellectual and civic virtues that are as foundational to good health service delivery as they are to a functioning democracy. This podcast is for anyone who wants to get better at asking questions about health care and for anyone interested in thinking more powerfully than we typically do about our health experiences and how they influence our collective and individual characters. For cases, art, and a summary of key concepts from QHC Podcast episodes that help cultivate critical thinking and question-formation skills, visit the QHC Case Collective (https://healthpolicyethics.com/case-collective/). Thank you for joining the Question Health Care community. For more about how to get involved, go to healthpolicyethics.com (http://healthpolicyethics.com).
