Colleagues will present 4 challenging cases to highlight the intersection of compassion and empathy when partnering with patients and families in the clinic. Care teams and patients must communicate about sensitive topics of health, mental health, difficult diagnoses, and when well-intentioned communications are received poorly, we must continue building relationships and trust that may have been fractured. Audience participation and discussion with our colleagues is encouraged.
