Patient Empathy Scale
Measure your empathic connection with patients
This is an educational self-reflection tool, not a clinical diagnostic instrument. It is not a substitute for professional medical or psychological evaluation.
1.How often do you try to understand what your patients are feeling, not just their symptoms?
2.Do patients or families tell you they feel truly heard by you?
3.How comfortable are you sitting with a patient who is crying or emotionally distressed?
4.Do you consider the emotional and social context of a patient's illness in your treatment plan?
5.Has your capacity for empathy changed over the course of your career?
