Liss Chavarria

Hi, I am Liss Chavarria. I am a patient first and then a physician. As a patient, I live every day dealing with symptoms stemming from clinical conditions that were misdiagnosed for years. As a physician, I have dedicated my professional journey to making healthcare services safer for patients and the healthcare professionals who provide them. 

I believe we must pursue a just culture and prioritize psychological safety for healthcare professionals if we want succeed in this endeavor. I acknowledge the vulnerability and fallibility of all participants; we are human beings. I firmly believe in enhancing partnerships between healthcare professionals and patients to co-design better care processes and foster a safer, more effective health system. I am confident we can establish a patient-physician relationship model in which active collaboration, transparency, and vulnerability serve as cornerstones. 

 I am eager to collaborate, learn from everyone, share insights and best practices, and design innovative strategies to continually advance our collective mission of making healthcare safer.
