Judy Huang, PhD, PharmD, BCPS, DPLA, Beth West, EdD, and Nicole Salib, 4th Year UVM Medical Student, explore the purpose of communication in medicine.

This trio expertly delivered a panel on the significance behind The Critical Moment Dialogue (CDM): A framework for Intercultural Learning in Medicine at The Generalist in Medical Education Conference in San Antonio, Texas, Thursday October 30, 2025, 2:10pm – 3:10pm.

On the experience, Beth shared:

“I loved working on this workshop with Judy and Nicole, huge kudos to you both – Nicole, for being our fearless leader and guiding the whole session as lead facilitator, and Judy, for sharing so vulnerably her critical moment experience and modelling how we can use the CMD as a tool for learning and development. I was honored to sit with you both and am so lucky to consider you both as friends!
