About The Doctor's Art
The practice of medicine–filled with moments of joy, suffering, grace, sorrow, and hope–offers a window into the human condition. Though serving as guides and companions to patients’ illness experiences is profoundly meaningful work, the busy nature of modern medicine can blind its own practitioners to the reasons they entered it in the first place. Join resident physician Henry Bair and oncologist Tyler Johnson as they meet with doctors, patients, leaders, educators, and others in healthcare, to explore stories on finding and nourishing meaning in medicine. This podcast is for anyone striving for a deeper connection with their medical journey. Visit TheDoctorsArt.com for more information.

And I have always been awestruck by the evidence that supports that within the therapeutic alliance. We know in the world of psychiatry that the quality of the therapeutic alliance with a psychotherapist is more essential than any specific psychotherapy technique that you deploy in a session. And we see similar associations with cancer patient populations that patients with cancer who have a strong therapeutic alliance with their oncologist show enhanced well-being and enhanced quality of life metrics, show signs of greater meaning and also better internal peace.
