Donald & Barbara Zucker School of Medicine’s Post

📢 This week, our Pediatrics Interest Group hosted "The Art of Communicating Across Abilities," providing medical students with a transformative opportunity to engage with patients and families about intellectual and developmental disabilities. Dr. Tchaconas, a Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics Fellow, shared valuable insights on patient-centered language and transitioning care over a patient’s lifetime. Students were deeply inspired by three families who spoke about Autism Spectrum Disorder and Moebius Syndrome. 💡 These experiences underscore the importance of empathy and communication in healthcare. 🎉 Tonight, January 24th: Addie, one of our remarkable panelists, is hosting "Bouncing for Kindness" to raise awareness for Moebius Syndrome and promote the message that kindness is everything. #MedicalEducation #DisabilityAwareness #KindnessIsEverything #MoebiusSyndrome
