Epistemic Injustice in Medical Education

Abstract

Epistemic Injustice is a topic of enormous importance, which must be considered and meditated not only in the hospital environment. Until relatively recently we had no way to name those restrictive experiences in educational frameworks. Epistemic injustice is a constant situation in the various environments in which doctors and medical students operate. The academy itself must be attentive to these questions when talking about important and peripheral disciplines; when evaluates his teachers, considering research achievements as more important than activity in the classroom or at the patient's bedside.
