Why kindness is the missing link in medical education

We welcome back internal medicine physician Vijay Rajput. Two years ago, he shared his insights on the KevinMD article, "Top 10 things new interns should do." Today, he returns to discuss updates on those recommendations, with a new emphasis on empathy, compassion, and introducing the power of kindness in medical education and clinical practice.

Vijay Rajput is an internal medicine physician.
