Most of us were only 18 years old when we were asked to pick a college major, and gave little thought to how what we learned in school could shape how we viewed the world. Years later, many of us are still unaware of how our own professional training colors our worldview. Even though we all fall under the broad scope of healthcare, the differences between how nurses, lab techs, doctors, researchers and others view the world can be profound. Through discussions with an interdisciplinary panel, we hope to highlight some common differences between professions and give tips on how to use this knowledge to work more effectively on the job.
