Honestly, how would you make one that is politically acceptable and portrays the difference of physicians (and physician training) over other providers?
For me, I think I would do one of two:
1) Showcase over history the prestige and honor of studying in universities dating back to the 1500s in London to the early Ivy leagues in the 1800-1900s. Follow this up by some Western scene in the middle of the night, where someone busts through the door asking for a doctor. End with cliche' saying of, "In your time of need, who do you put your trust in?" with a modern physician operating, resuscitating, etc.
2) Show a montage of clips of the physician path as we all know it...A's in high school, captains of sports, student council, followed by rigorous studying in undergrad, while maybe studying abroad, mission trips, occasional late study nights, working at a restaurant. Follow this up with medical school stuff, more rigorous studying, shadowing, helping in the OR, rounding, studying for not 1, 2, but 3 board exams, etc. Residency montage, and then maybe list the hours worked/studied to be a physician. "Does your provider have 40,000 hours of training?"
The key is to not point fingers but showcase our skill set and training. And also to remind the public why they invest their (public and private) money in physicians.
