This month's compilation of studies examines important questions in humanistic care, including:
- What is the relationship between physician self-compassion and well-being?
- What interventions prevent or reduce burnout among medical students and residents?
- Do clinicians communicate differently to patients of certain races and ethnicities regarding their prognosis?
If you haven't taken our quick survey, please do. We would very much appreciate your feedback on Research Roundup!
