Episode 18 - How Doctors Think with Camillo Coccia

Camillo is a medical doctor from South Africa. Currently he works as a senior house officer at Letterkenny University Hospital department of Hematology. He has a special interests in existentialist philosophy, German idealism and phenomenology. We published a paper together called "Because We Care: a philosophical investigation into the spirit of medical education". We discuss that paper at length in another podcast, [link will appear here when it is out]. Camillo also published a book chapter with Sven Schaepkens, called "In Pursuit of Time: An Inquiry into kairos and reflection in medical practice and health professions education"
