“In our trainings, we note that Maria Montessori would say “The child will lead us.”
We tell our trainees, “The residents will lead us. Where will they take us? We do not know.
At this time, they do not know. It is life, and it will be an adventure.”
~ Dr. Cameron J. Camp
Our Montessori-based approach focuses on preserving the autonomy and dignity of patients, offering a holistic way to enhance their care.
