Let’s move away from the pejorative term “soft skills” to describe the crucial skills of healthcare communication.

Hi everyone! I’m Matt, #hospice and #palliative #medicine doc. I like to make videos about both the practical and emotional challenges of serious illness so that patients and their caregivers feel a little more empowered and a little less alone. Good to be here ❤️
