Current medical physics graduate training in the United States seldom explicitly includes education on foundational skills necessary to produce Patient-Centered Care (PCC)-focused healthcare providers. Such abilities include effective communication, critical reflection, and ethical decision-making. In this article, we present examples of curricula used to purposefully introduce these skills into graduate training to fill this gap. Presented didactic activities include an introduction to patient communication, ethics in medical physics, and a primer in health disparities for medical physicists. Although development of new curricula is resource-intensive when left to individual programs, we here propose resource-sharing and interprofessional collaboration to overcome these barriers.
美国当前的医学物理研究生培训很少明确包含对培养以患者为中心的护理（PCC）为重点的医疗保健提供者所需的基础技能的教育。这些能力包括有效的沟通、批判性反思和道德决策。在本文中，我们展示了用于有目的地将这些技能引入研究生培训以填补这一空白的课程示例。所呈现的教学活动包括患者沟通介绍、医学物理中的伦理以及医学物理学家的健康差异入门。虽然让各个项目自行开发新课程资源密集，但我们在此提议资源共享和跨专业合作以克服这些障碍。
