'How long do I have left?' Difficult conversations for trainees (part 1)
Description
Hematology/oncology requires clinicians to have some of the most difficult conversations in all of medicine. In this edition, we begin a three-part series about having those conversations.
These conversations will be hosted by Ilana Yurkiewicz, MD, the host and producer of the Clinical Correlation segment and the author of Hard Questions, a monthly column at MDedge Hematology-Oncology. She is joined by the two residents who have been behind Blood & Cancer show notes from the beginning, Emily Bryer, DO, and Ronak Mistry, DO, both of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
David H. Henry, MD, editor in chief of MDedge Hematology-Oncology and the host of Blood & Cancer, joins the podcast to talk about this week's discussion and a new Food and Drug Administration approval from earlier in September.
