ABSTRACT
The role of medical students in patient care is complex. Students suggest plans but are not responsible for enacting them. We are anticipated to make mistakes but expected to perform tasks with excellence. Regardless of the field, physicians are tasked with the responsibility and burden of making decisions. Students are at the interface between the patient and the surgical team; their interactions with the patient can be life-changing and potentially lifesaving. Choosing to not operate on patients, deemed inoperable, can be morally challenging. As students, we may not have the power to make decisions but can be present and learn from our patients.
