Research

I study the role of empathy in medical education. Empathy shown by a physician is associated with tangible improvements in patient's health. But sometimes physician empathy can be low. I explore interventions in medical school to tackle this issue. In particular I am studying something called 'empathy map training'. Email me to find out more.
