As new residents step into their roles, Janet offers a grounding reminder: every patient you meet is a person first. Not a diagnosis. Not a pathology. A person. In this moving conversation, Janet shares the wisdom she\u2019s gathered from years of experience partnering with healthcare teams. She reflects on what makes a doctor trustworthy and what makes care feel truly compassionate. You\u2019ll hear practical advice on listening with intention, asking questions that matter, and being honest when you don\u2019t know the answer. Most of all, you\u2019ll learn how to co-create care... together with your patients. Specialty Caf\u00e9 returns later this summer with more episodes on primary specialties, CaRMS prep, and beyond.
