Drawing from her experiences as a physician\, patient\, writer\, and national leader in compassionate care\, Dr. Awdish invites us into a profound conversation about reverence\, vulnerability\, and the human dimensions of caregiving.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nDr. Rana Awdish is the bestselling author of In Shock\, a landmark medical memoir\, and serves as the Medical Director of Care Experience at Henry Ford Health. She is a Clinical Professor at both Michigan State University and Wayne State University and has been nationally recognized for her work in healthcare transformation\, including receiving the Schwartz Center’s National Compassionate Caregiver of the Year Award and Physician of the Year by Press Ganey.
