Dr. Manoj Jain, an infectious disease specialist in Memphis, reflects on the reasons physicians struggle to show patients compassion in an article in yesterday's Washington Post. But while there have been studies showing medical student losing compassion for patients in the course of their training, there is evidence that compassion can be effectively taught in physician training programs.
Compassion can perhaps be taught to physicians and health care providers in any number of ways. But compassion may ultimately come down to teaching physicians how to effectively communicate with patients in emotional circumstances. Doctors may feel compassion but may have a hard time expressing it. But training in compassionate communication, helping doctors come up with what exactly to say to a patient, may help them express the compassion they feel.
