With an undergraduate degree in psychology, prior to studying Public Health at the Jefferson College of Population Health and then attending medical school, Chris had a strong desire to understand and address all aspects of patients' health and well being. Inspired by his time at home caregiving for his grandmother, he gained an appreciation for the complexities of end of life care and the importance of considering each person's goals and values before acting in their interest. During his medical residency, due to his appreciation for patient autonomy and the value Chris saw in palliative involvement with patient care, he pursued a Fellowship in Hospice and Palliative Care.
