Values-driven Medical Training | Episode 46
In this episode, Professor Sonia Kumar, founding Executive Dean of Medicine at St. Mary’s University's new School of Medicine, shares her vision for a more compassionate, values-driven approach to medical education.
She discusses the importance of human connection, spirituality, and supporting both patients and doctors through death, dying, and grief.
With moving stories from her career as a GP, Professor Kumar explains how the new school will prepare future doctors to care for the whole person — body, mind, and spirit — during and at the end of life.
