What does it take to build not just a career, but an entire field of medicine?
In this new episode, we sit down with a true pioneer, Dr. Steven Pantilat, the founder of the Division of Palliative Medicine at UCSF.
Dr. Pantilat takes us back to the early days of palliative care, a time before it even had a name, when he and a small cohort of innovators sort of made it up through the groundbreaking Project on Death in America (PDIA).
He reveals how this experience of finding his tribe; was a revelation that shaped his lifelong commitment to mentorship.
We explore his philosophy that transformed him from a mentee into the Uber mentor as described by his guest and mentee, Dr. Gretchen Schwarze.
Dr. Pantilat shares his core principles for powerful mentorship, including the crucial difference between being & nice and being kind,, why the best mentors care about the whole person, and how to give feedback that truly helps people grow.
Join us for a deeply human look at the art of mentorship, the birth of the palliative care movement, and the wisdom that comes from understanding that our time, and our tribe, are everything.
