2. Identify the self-assessed empathy in medical students, residents, and fellows at the Walter Reed Pain Clinic significantly improved after learners attended a single workshop on empathy.
3. Review the qualitative analysis of survey results that supported the efficacy of the workshop as a useful tool for inspiring change in clinical practice.
