To advocate for sufficient time and presence with each and every patient, cultivating optimal communication, empathy and care
To bring physicians together as a voice that’s heard
To speak up on societal and global issues that impact health
To confront the transformational challenges that lie ahead for the medical profession
To put humanistic patient care before the business of medicine
To build a strong foundation for the next generations of doctors who will care for us all
“Many doctors feel despair about their appalling working conditions and the deteriorating doctor-patient relationship. But there have been no protest marches or social-media campaigns. Why not?” —The New Yorker, August 5, 2019
