Abraham Verghese, MD, MACP
Linda R. Meier and Joan F. Lane Provostial Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy interest is in clinical skills and the bedside exam, both in its technical aspects, but also in the importance of the ritual and what is conveyed by the physician's presence and technique at the bedside. This work interests me from an educational point of view, and also from the point of view of ethnographic studies related to rituals and how they transform the patient-physician relationship. Recently we have become interested in medical error as a result of oversights in the bedside exam.

Maria Norma Villalon Landeros
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioDr. Norma Villalon's path to medicine reflects a journey of perseverance and community service. Born and raised in rural Guanajuato, Mexico, her early years were shaped by strong family bonds and a deep appreciation for community care, despite financial challenges. Before immigrating to the United States at 18, she dedicated herself to adult education through INEA, teaching literacy and basic education to members of her community. This early experience fostered her commitment to serving diverse populations and understanding their unique needs. As a first-generation professional from an immigrant background, Dr. Villalon brings a unique perspective to medicine, informed by her profound understanding of underserved communities. Her journey from a small Mexican village to becoming a physician exemplifies the power of determination and the importance of accessible healthcare. Through her work, she continues to advocate for equitable medical care while actively mentoring and supporting the next generation of physicians from underrepresented backgrounds.
