Abstract
The speakers will explore the nature of empathy, the literature on empathy decline during medical training and how to support empathy in learners.
Objectives
The bulk of the session will be engaging the audience in three questions:
- If we want to understand empathy in our trainees further…what should we be doing, focusing on?
- If we want to help our trainees maintain empathy during the clinical years what should we be focusing on?
- How can we help support the field in understanding empathy in the realm of Health Professions Education?
