At the 2026 Hippocratic Society Conference, Dr. Ben Frush and Dr. Brewer Eberly discuss how one can hope amidst the pressures and difficulties of the practice of medicine.

How can physicians be hopeful in the face of rising distrust in practitioners, bureaucratic pressures, time constraints, and the looming force of artificial intelligence? How can moral friendship sustain us? Drawing from philosophers and artist alike, Frush and Eberly offer a look at what it might mean to practice hope as a clinician.
