Physician advocacy - individual patient impact and social change

Colorado physician-educators state in the Journal of Academic Medicine that "in a healthcare context, advocacy is defined as: action by a physician to promote those social, economic, educational, and political changes that ameliorate the suffering and threats to human health and well-being that he or she identifies through his or her professional work and expertise".

The team at Blueguide Inc. is here now to answer personal questions about your, or a loved one's, cancer - from the meaning of investigations to alternate treatment options to important contemporary topics.

The above researchers go on to express that advocacy, requires going beyond helping individual patients get the services they need..."it requires working to address the root causes of the problems they face. ...the obligation to advocacy must also include a recognition of the limits of his or her expertise."
