Host: Maurice Pickard, MD
Guest: David Mayer, MD
Dr. David Mayer leads a program that teaches medical students and house staff the "low tech, high yield" science of listening and communicating empathy. This skill is especially important in helping physicians in training convey themselves honestly, fostering greater transparency in care. The benefits of these skills become especially apparent when medical errors and unexpected results occur, testing the relationship and trust between patient and physician.
