During the first year of medical school, biomedical students learn to cut open and dissect the human heart, exploring its previously unseen chambers. Intensive as the training of a physician is, there is need for more discussion of open-heartedness, the quality of compassion and kindness that deepens human connection. The Open-Hearted MD dialogues explore the opening of our own hearts to further strengthen the doctor-patient relationship.
Topics include themes integral to healing practices such as Compassion, Gratitude, and Humor.
Conversations will serve as a resource for healthcare providers, students, and the public.
