Not sure whether this list applies to all medical schools, but interesting to see where the gaps are. My comments in brackets:
- Chronic pain management
- Bedside manner (internship and observing other doctors provides this real world experience)
- Management skills
- Nutrition (handled by dieticians in my transplant clinic but my hematologists and nurses give the usual general advice)
- Wilderness medicine
- Physical diagnosis (while imaging is key, most of the interns actually do a physical exam as well)
- Treating soldiers
- Patient safety
- Treating musculoskeletal disorders
- Teamwork (benefit from a group practice so while there are normal differences and personalities as in any team, overall less of an issue in my area)
