Profiles in Professionalism Support Series Summit Talk
This series will feature one of our own faculty. As the saying goes, "You are never a prophet on your own mountain." So many of our faculty members are invited all over the country, all over the world, to discuss their unique insights and yet they may speak only infrequently at their home "mountain."
From 5 - 6 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 8, 2022, Dr. Lee Poythress will be both In-person and via Zoom. Dr. Poythress’ talk, “An Aspect of Professionalism: The Difficult Conversation,” will look at the intersection of academic medicine’s evolution in the approach to teaching professionalism with the changes of student/physician health and wellness and as a context for developing students and residents into professionals with the skill sets needed to practice medicine in the modern era. The focus will be on a critical area: The difficult conversation.
