A short excerpt from a YouTube video by Robert Whitfield MD ("Identifying Patient Challenges in Cancer Care") discussing how clinicians learn to recognize patient patterns over years of practice. The speaker notes that after roughly 10 years of practice clinicians begin to see patterns, which become clearer by 20–30 years; aggregating many clinicians' experiences can support more personalized, "in-of-one" approaches in general healthcare and cancer care specifically.

Chapters

You, as a clinician, if you've been in practice for longer than 10 years, you start to see patterns. And if you've been it for 20 years for sure, and 30 years for sure, you know, and then you bring in the voices and the expertise of hundreds who see these patterns, and suddenly we have something that starts to make sense of a lot of information and starts to create opportunities to create more of an in of one approach in healthcare in general and in cancer care in particular.
