Prescription is empathy at Children's Hospital study
Two doctors at Children's Hospital study bedside manners with a $78,328 William Penn Foundation grant to teach interpersonal skills to first-year residents. Residents are videotaped during histories and examinations in the Outpatient Clinic, then critiqued to boost personal warmth and mother child contact. The effort aims to reduce patient anxiety by balancing quick, effective care with sustained human connection.
