We have a conversation with Dr. Delaram Shirazian, an assistant clinical professor at the SUNY college of optometry. She is the creator of the Instagram account @humaneyezinghealthcare, where she emphasizes the importance of community care and the doctor-patient relationship. Her IG posts also share snippets from medical humanity research papers that express how the doctor-patient relationship is strongly affected by our communication skills.

Follow Dr. Shirazian on Instagram @humaneyezinghealthcare to learn more about this topic and reflect on your personal communication skills towards your patients.
