Can Google Help Us Choose Doctors?

February 23, 2014 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

imagesAnyone involved in medical education should read Thomas Friedman’s, How to Get a Job at Google.  Read the piece and think about how Google could help us choose doctors for medical school.

Google’s criteria are centered on five areas:

  1. Cognitive ability.  The ability to process on the fly.
  2. Leadership.  Emergent leadership as opposed to traditional leadership.
  3. Humility and ownership.  The ability to step back and embrace the ideas of others.
  4. Intellectual humility.  Because without humility you are unable to learn.
  5. Expertise.  Interestingly, the least important attribute at Google.

Medicine is changing quickly.  The Google lens might offer valuable insight in how we think about the attributes of physicians in the digital age.
