Biography
Richard Leiter, MD, MA
I am an attending physician on the adult inpatient palliative care consult service at Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Hospital. I assist patients with serious illness with symptom management, coping, and medical decision-making. I am also a research fellow in the Department of Psychosocial Oncology and Palliative Care. My work is focused on the international patient population with cancer seen at Dana-Farber. I am also interested in cross-cultural palliative care and the intersection of palliative care and medical ethics.
