Biography
My work focuses on teaching healthcare professionals how to engage in empathic behaviors with their patients, learners, and interprofessional colleagues; and how building skill in empathic behavior can increase the quality of teaching and patient care while decreasing burnout and personal distress. I have found the humanities to be the most powerful tools for teaching these concepts and grappling with them in the clinical environment.
