Elena Pastukhova has a particular interest in humanism in medicine: medical practice that is cemented in person-centered and equitable care. She believes these are qualities and skills that can be cultivated as part of medical education and beyond. Elena's previous work has involved advocacy for improved diversity and cultural competence within medical education. Additionally, she has worked on projects appreciating the impacts of social determinants of health, such as poverty and homelessness, on the health of our patients.
