Read a Q & A with international palliative care expert Steve Pantilat, M.D., Director of Palliative Care, UCSF. He shares his thoughts on the benefits to patients & families, including meeting life milestones & the role of the clinician.
Steven Pantilat, MD ’89, is chief of UC San Francisco’s new Division of Palliative Medicine, an international expert in the field, and a lover of poetry that speaks to the heart. A line from a Mary Oliver poem inspires his work: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do / with your one wild and precious life?”
