I strive to nurture my students into well-rounded physicians who approach their patients with astute clinical skills and with heart. Undeniably difficult to teach, empathy opens a window into a world deeper than the classroom where care translates as truly listening to patients and seeing the communities in which they live. In imparting this way of being, we as teachers are reminded to reflect on the meaning of empathy and learn to practice it anew.
