This presentation, combined with a small group discussion-based exercise, is meant to help students understand the historical roots of medical fallacies and how these untruths have impacted the care that patients receive today. The presenters also hope that this lecture will help trainees to identify and address any conscious and/or subconscious biases that they may have before entering into the clinic.
