The Open-Hearted MD

By: The Open-Hearted MD Team
  • Summary

  • 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. www.openheartedmd.com ----------------------------- Disclaimer: The content of The Open-Hearted MD has been made available for educational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
