Dr. Rohan Mathur, M.D. M.P.A

Assistant Professor, Neurology, Anesthesiology & Critical Care Medicine

I care about humanizing medicine because without promoting compassion, understanding and respect of our patient as a person, we risk great harm to the patient’s clinical care and dignity and harm to our own ethical core.

Activities Related to Humanizing Medicine

Education: I am a scheduled instructor for the regularly scheduled Navigating Critical Illness education sessions for all new Critical Care Nurses at JHH and JHBMC. This includes lectures and discussions on navigating ethical complexities around topics like brain death, ECMO and moral distress.

Research: In addition to setting up a longitudinal follow up with ethnographic interviews of patients with extended stays in the Neurocritical Care unit, I have also worked to implement the TIMS initiative in the NCCU, including a new expansion to include a shared resource of TIMS for all providers. I also serve as a mentor and co-investigator on a project to study the role of live music therapy on outcomes in patients with disorders of consciousness.
