At the Voice of the Patient, we are dedicated to enhancing our ability as health care providers to truly listen to others and to establish a therapeutic alliance. In some cases, we can benefit from listening to the experience and mindset of other providers, such as Dr. Faye Reiff-Pasarew.  Dr. Reiff-Pasarew is an assistant professor of hospital medicine, director of the humanism in medicine program and unit medical director at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.  She received her MD from the University of California, San Francisco Medical School and completed her residency in Internal Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital. She also produced the podcast series "The Art of Medicine." Her interests include: the medical humanities, end of life care, and the doctor-patient relationship. Dr. Reiff-Pasarew and I discuss her recent article in the Washington Post: "I'm a young, female doctor. Calling me 'sweetie' won't help me save your life." Dr. Reiff-Pasarew shares her experiences with challenging relationships with patients because of attitudes toward her age and gender. She offers many ideas for how providers can overcome these challenging relationships and how to benefit our healthcare system by eradicating these stereotypes. We discuss narrative medicine, how she uses poetry to teach medical students about delivering cancer diagnoses, and how she has included patients in grand rounds at her hospital. Check out Dr. Reiff-Pasarew's podcast: The Art of Medicine. You can follow Dr. Reiff-Pasarew on Twitter or send her an email at faye[at]theartofmedicinepodcast[dot]com.   If you have a story to tell as a patient, provider, or both, then contact Zach Stearns on Twitter @zachrstearns or Dave Reed @DReedPT. ---------- *Find more helpful podcasts & blog posts at http://TheVoiceOfThePatient.org *Check out the other podcasts in the Senior Rehab Project at http://SeniorRehabProject.com

At the Voice of the Patient, we are dedicated to enhancing our ability as health care providers to truly listen to others and to establish a therapeutic alliance. In some cases, we can benefit from listening to the experience and mindset of other providers, such as Dr. Mark Bishop, PT, PhD. Dr. Bishop is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy. Dr. Bishop received his entry-level training in Australia and has extensive experience working as a physical therapist. His research interests are in the management of musculoskeletal conditions, particularly pain, by orthopedic physical therapy. He also researches nonspecific effects in physical therapy, including the role of the expectations of providers and patients in therapeutic outcomes. We discuss many aspects of the therapeutic alliance, including therapist expectations, patient expectations, and placebo. We talk about research from Dr. Bishop and other scientists that have tested the role of expectancy in treatment, and Dr. Bishop shares advice for providers to maximize outcomes in an evidence-based manner.  Further reading: Journal articles on expectations: Individual Expectation: An Overlooked, but Pertinent, Factor in the Treatment of Individuals Experiencing Musculoskeletal Pain.
