The Care in Caring: Humanistic Medicine in a Technological Age
Few clinicians have shaped the way medicine thinks about the patient–clinician relationship as profoundly as Abraham Verghese. In this keynote, you will step back from algorithms, productivity metrics, and endless documentation to reconnect with the human story at the center of every visit.
You will explore how careful listening, narrative awareness, and clinical presence can coexist with today’s technological demands, and how small shifts in the exam room can restore meaning to everyday practice. Through real clinical moments drawn from Dr. Verghese’s career, this session will help you reconnect with the purpose that drew you to medicine and strengthen the therapeutic bond that remains at the heart of high-quality primary care.
