In 2001, the founders of the Institute of Medical Humanism®(IMH) observed that the difference in the language of medicine and of the patients’ lived experience of illness impeded effective doctor-patient communication, a key component of best care.
In 2002, the IMH implemented a successful pilot program at a regional cancer center in Vermont to help facilitate doctor-patient communication and in 2006, launched its Center for Communication in Medicine® (CCM). The Center offers programs to highlight each individual’s role and responsibility in facilitating communication and developing a partnership in healthcare decision-making.
