The Importance of Being Human – Reflections of an Aspiring Medical Humanist

Through anecdotes, sketches, and introspective thoughts from his three decades in hospice and palliative care, Dr. Rotella will delve into the similarities between the evolution of hospice and palliative care as a discipline and his own journey as a doctor and advocate for medical humanism. Learners will be encouraged to reflect on the impact of this work on their lives and discuss strategies for self-care and mutual support to maintain our collective mission for the future.
