This is a publication from the American Medical Association(AMA) that educates students about the responsibilities they have as patients in our healthcare system in the U.S. For an activity, I would have your students read through each responsibility (a-j) and then form small groups and share 2 responsibilities each that they learned. The key takeaway is for the students to understand that it is not just the doctors and nurses that have responsibilities in our health system, we too as patients have our own obligations and responsibilities that we must abide by.

Students will learn about the Patient Bill of Rights and why it exists. Patient responsibilities and rationale will be explored. Students will learn what to do if they have concerns related to care or services they received. Videos are embedded in this prepared power point.
