Saul J. Weiner MD is professor of medicine, pediatrics and medical education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and deputy director of the VA Center for Innovation in Complex Chronic Healthcare. He was raised in Brookline MA, and attended Harvard College where he majored in Social Studies. He is also a graduate of Geisel Medical School at Dartmouth, and completed a dual residency in internal medicine and pediatrics at the University of Chicago. From 2001-2005 he was a Robert Wood Johnson Generalist Physician Faculty Scholar. Dr. Weiner is interested in ways to improve how physicians attend to patients' individual needs and circumstances -- what he terms "patient context." For over a decade he has been recording thousands of encounters between physicians and either real patients, or actors presenting as real patients, the latter called "unannounced standardized patients." He and his team have developed methods for assessing, based on both the audio recordings and the medical record, whether patients are getting care that is not only evidence based but also effective because it accommodates their individual needs.
