My name is Tom Cole, I’m the director of the McGovern Center of Humanities
Ethics here at UTHealth.
Our basic job is to teach and to do research
that helps caregivers provide
compassionate
and ethically sound professional
care to our patients.
When it comes to
taking care of
older patients
we are especially
interested in helping them take care of themselves
over the long haul. Interms of preventing chronic illness
But from a humanistic point of view we want our students to pay attention to the stories
of the patients.
