Promoting the Patient’s Voice
By understanding the patient’s lived experience with illness, suffering and even death a doctor is more able to connect with and treat them as a fellow human being.  The patient narrative can come through a variety of paths, such as patient panels, documentary films, literature, visual arts, and more.  The Arnold P. Gold Foundation supports projects that help to deepen understanding and empathy for the patient experience, bringing critical insights to practitioners and medical trainees – and the patient public, too.
