Professor and senior associate dean of engagement Janet A. Jokela discusses her article, " Celebrating internal medicine through our human connections with patients ." Janet shares moving stories from medical students who are discovering the profound importance of human connection, often for the first time. She explores how these early, sacred connections (like listening to a grieving patient or advocating for the uninsured) are the true reward of internal medicine, reminding us that medicine is not black and white. Janet champions the power of storytelling as a critical tool for patient advocacy and refutes the bias that technical backgrounds preclude compassionate care. This conversation is a celebration of the future of internal medicine and the empathy that defines it. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot .
