Near and long term projections of demand for healthcare workers and services are virtually off the charts. Moreover, the precision medicine, automation, and data generation and analysis that attend the integration of humans and machines forecast by the Fourth Industrial Revolution will place even greater importance on the interpersonal and intercultural intelligences vital to meaningful and effective patient partnerships, which best support disease prevention and care.
