Humility, in the general sense, involves an accurate assessment of one’s abilities, achievements, as well as gaps in knowledge and limitations, and an acceptance that one is but a part of a vast universe. We argue that healthcare has a humility problem. Not only is there an occupational status hierarchy deeply embedded within healthcare delivery severely hindering interprofessional team-based care, but there is a persistent debilitating socio-emotional distance between healthcare providers and patients.

Now, more than ever, it is crucial that social science constructs, concepts, theories, and methodologies be employed to connect perceptions, values, and practices to the broader social context.
