Why do we have to learn psychology and sociology for medical school?

Under the biopsychosocial model of disease, physicians can positively affect the psychological health of their patients, at the very least by providing the emotional support needed to overcome the psychological stress of being burdened with a disease. Physicians must also understand that all individuals are part of societal structures and that disease processes can hinder their ability to adequately fill their roles.
