The Path to Clinical Excellence

Description

CLOSLER was started at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine's Miller Coulson Academy of Clinical Excellence as a place to share insight, inspiration, wisdom, and new thinking about clinical excellence from and for health-care professionals around the world. With the goal of sharing thoughtful clinical stories and perspectives to stimulate reflection about providing exceptional care to every patient, CLOSLER takes its name from William Osler, the founder of academic medicine in the U.S. and an early champion of patient-centered care.

This live virtual episode of The Making of a Clinician: A CLOSLER Podcast will be an intimate conversation with a medical student and Johns Hopkins physicians and nurses about their personal stories through medicine and practicing clinical excellence. Topics include burnout, diversity and inclusion in medicine, and the role of the arts and humanities in clinical practice.

This event is open to all but geared toward pre-health students.
