Restorative Justice
Building relationships in academic medicine
What are the barriers to my patients accessing care during a pandemic? How can we mentor students better? How do we approach colleagues following a hurtful exchange of words?

Where Eye Care Fits In: Bridging specialty and primary care
Gary S. Schwartz, MD, MHA
When I was in medical school and matched in ophthalmology, a friend who is now a urologist started referring to me as an “eye dentist”. His logic was that because my patients would not need to undress and could be examined in a chair rather than a bed, that my practice would look more like a dentist’s than a physician’s. We laughed about this at the time, but throughout my training and career I have been repeatedly surprised by how often the truth behind his joke has shown through.
