1.1. Potential to improve physician knowledge and improve communication with patients through awareness.
1.1.1. If patients understand the struggle of a physician trying to transpire their insight and diagnosis to a unknowledgeable patient is detrimental to both the doctor's practice and patient's health.

4.1.3. Our never-ending search of support and resources.
4.1.3.1. Being that we are merely Pre-Med students, nothing more than the average university student; our need of credible support and supervision is constantly a struggle.
