Vandana Nagpal, MD, FACP Associate Program Director Biography Who I am and why I practice palliative medicine: "I love talking to people and helping them make sense of difficult information through listening, clear communication and sometimes humor. Palliative care training has provided me with the tools to fulfill my passion of using medicine and psychology to help others; I see the power of showing up and human connection every day in my work. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and binging on books and streaming services." |

Carolyn Murphy, MD Associate Program Director Biography Who I am and why I practice palliative medicine: "Outside of work I like to spend time with my family, read, and try new restaurants. I practice palliative care because it lets me have time to spend with patients and learn about their lives. It also gives me the great privilege to sit with people during some of the most challenging times of their lives." |

Rebecca Kowaloff, DO
"I am a mother and that is the greatest thing I have ever done with my life, and I am adventurous. Outside of work I love to exercise my creative side with cooking and baking, decorating projects, and crafting. Additionally, there’s nothing like reading snuggled with a child to decompress from the work that we do. |
