The Schism Between Medicine and Public Health | Patrick Remington | TEDxUWMadison

Why is public health so important to take into account when dealing with the field of medicine? While these schisms may seem unrelated, it is vital to pair them together to create more effective solutions in the field of health and medicine. Redesigning the healthcare system can create change and improve lives.

[MoJoDrPH]

As a Doctor of Public Health, it pains me to even think that there are schisms between the two, but it is very real and sad that many hospitals depend on the illness of individuals to remain in business

[MohammadAhmad-fipt]

I'm glad to know that I wasn't the only one thinking that doctors have forgotten their purpose

[stlez]

Medicine has the money, and public health has the mission! Greatest revelation yet!

[rzyohjy]

The goal of public health is the health of all people.
Medical technology is about treating individuals for their illnesses.
Public health is for the benefit of all, and all are treated the same, regardless of your race or income.
Medical technology is for the benefit of the individual, and access to medical care requires you to have lots and lots of money, to measure the value of life in money, to buy life with money.

[Josh-wyjq]

Amazing! Medicine has the money and Public health has the mission very well said!!

[allielilia]

A great talk, I think a lot of people should see it

[Dr-zjuy]

Public health Concerns about Community while they prevent the diseases before they occur while Medicine Concerns individuals and they diagnose and Treat the patients so prevention is better than curing like Immunizations, Health education, health promotions, awareness and Nutrition

For this speech (and others), what is the best way to find the references used by the speaker? Some stories and statistics are worth mentioning as I do my own research on the subjects, but I need to back it up. Wonderful and powerful talk. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

[bia_h]

[bryanadriel]

I wish this was how all Dr's thought, but sadly only a miniscule of 0.05% Drs think this way and work towards it

[justinfacteau]

Medicine cold dark reality comment is amazing and so true.

However it’s insane- as we’re not even considering the contributors to the etiology we’re dealing with.

[okenteigbanamjonah]

Can we start thinking of infusing public health into the medical school curriculum to train better Physicians

[folakemisunmonu]

Why do Doctors come to this field to do MPH?
