Opportunities for medical students with the SIU Family Medicine Residency Program Alton Did you know that the word “doctor” is derived from the Latin, docco, which means “to teach?” Physicians certainly are teachers, in many ways, from the interactions they have with their patients and communities, to the interactions they have with each other and also those experiences with other medical learners.
