The Life Vectors student club at Western Balkans University recently hosted an insightful session with Dr. Sonila Bitri, focusing on the vital role of empathy in medical practice. The discussion shed light on how truly understanding and connecting with patients can strengthen the quality of care and doctor-patient relationship.
Dr. Bitri emphasized the importance of maintaining both professionalism and emotional awareness, helping students see empathy as a fundamental skill rather than just a personal quality. She also provided practical approaches to fostering compassion while avoiding self-centered tendencies in everyday interactions.
This event encouraged students to reflect on the impact of empathy in their future careers and reinforced the idea that compassionate care is at the heart of effective healthcare. More than just a discussion, it was a meaningful reminder of the responsibility that comes with caring for others.
