As a healthcare practitioner, you know that empathy is an integral part of the care you give. A new video produced by the Cleveland Clinic, a nonprofit medical center that integrates clinical and hospital care with research and education, aims to help each of us understand what it’s like to step into someone else’s shoes.
The video, titled “Empathy,” illustrates the inherent complexities in each person’s life and how understanding them informs how we interact with one another – from healthcare professional and administrator to patient, caregivers, and support staff.
