About Kyle

Palliative care physician, educator, and professional overthinker. Known for turning rounds into rants and rants into teaching points, he spends his days navigating the messy intersection of medicine, communication, and the evidence-based search for meaning.

Kyle holds the title of Clinical Professor and has logged just a few more hours in interdisciplinary team meetings than he has in campus committee meetings. He teaches, writes, and occasionally questions why we do the things we do. His approach? Equal parts rigor and irreverence—because medicine is serious, but we don’t have to be self-serious about it.

When he’s not dissecting clinical reasoning or climbing up on a soapbox, Kyle is probably explaining why “comfort care” isn’t code for “doing nothing,” or reminding learners that compassion isn’t a checkbox. He believes good medicine requires curiosity, humility, and the occasional rant.
