The Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada is adjusting what medical schools are teaching to address a widespread issue in the health-care system that many believe is systemic.

The Association CEO Connie LeBlanc says medical gaslighting is a problem in the medical system, but it is not and should not be up to the patient to address.

She says science has historically under-researched women and their bodies, leading doctors to believe their pain is “atypical”.
