@PEHJackson We need to avoid the tyranny of the "or." It is both. A good physician needs to be sensitive to and compassionate about the human condition and learn/enhance effective communication skills, along with mastering the science foundational to modern medicine. Each takes time.
Please join me in congratulating Dr. David Wilkes on earning one of the highest honors in the fields of health and medicine. Truly remarkable achievement.

“While there is still much we need to learn about COVID-19, we do know that the best, most reliable, and cheapest way to stem its spread is by doing two simple things: wearing a mask and staying socially distant.”
— Dean David S. Wilkes, MD, of @MedicineUVA
Fortunately, UVA Health has not experienced the COVID crisis that was predicted. Patient care is returning to normal. Yet, our faculty has been leaders regionally and nationally in COVID testing, COVID treatment research, and vaccine research. How proud be a part of UVA Health.
Patients who had surgeries, procedures or outpatient clinic visits postponed over the past several weeks are being prioritized for rescheduling. https://t.co/hunYZAA4Fy @VirginiaHHA#UVA
This is a major advance--truly a game changer--for the treatment of Type 1 diabetes. Just awesome work done by Dr. Kovatchev and colleagues finally coming to fruition.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved an artificial pancreas system – based on technology from UVA – that automatically monitors and regulates blood glucose levels for Type 1 diabetes patients. https://t.co/lhTUbWehnD
