for Researchers

Research Team

Our Research Team is committed to progressing personalism in medicine through academic inquiry oriented toward enhancing the doctor-patient relationship. Our Researcher Team is a composition of physicians, healthcare professionals, ethicists and academicians in the humanities in order to prompt an inter-disciplinary conversation. Our scholars strive to facilitate a dynamic dialogue on the present state of medical culture and the formation of medical doctors. Their clinical studies, data collection, reviews, and commentaries are fundamental to actualizing the mission of the Pathos Project.
