Manage episode 405866950 series 3556778
In this week's episode of the Neurophilia Podcast, we discussed the relationship between Neurology and Palliative Medicine, the need for empathy and vulnerability in patient conversations, the emerging field of Neuropalliative Medicine, how to celebrate the small victories in medicine, and even Dua Lipa! In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Kathleen Neuendorf and Dr. Renato Samala.
Dr. Kathleen Neuendorf, MD has been a palliative medicine physician, working primarily as a consultant in the hospital, since 2010. She was drawn to the field because it brought an honesty and clarity that people seemed to need but weren't always getting. Dr. Neuendorf is known both locally and nationally for her work in relationship-centered communication and leadership. Outside of work, she is a proud mom of 3, enjoys spending time with her husband and taking walks in the Metroparks.
Dr. Renato V. Samala, MD is a staff physician in the Department of Palliative and Supportive Care at the Taussig Cancer Center, and an Associate Professor of Medicine at Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine. After graduating from the University of the Philippines College of Medicine, he completed a residency in internal medicine at UPMC McKeesport, and fellowships in Geriatrics and Hospice and Palliative Medicine at Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Samala is a fellow of the American College of Physicians and the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine. He has written numerous articles published in peer-reviewed journals and textbooks, and has presented at local, national and international conferences.
