Overview Brian Block is an Instructor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care and Research Fellow with interests in medical ethics, physician-patient communication, physician-physician communication, and decision-making during critical illness. He is also an award-winning medical educator with experience developing and studying novel educational curricula.
Dr. Block graduated from Harvard Medical School, completed Internal Medicine training at Columbia University, and was also a Chief Medical Resident at Columbia. He then came to UCSF to complete fellowship training in Pulmonary and Critical Care medicine. At present, he is working to improve our understanding of how patients and families prepare for and make difficult decisions in the intensive care unit, with a view towards providing more support for those who face difficult choices with uncertain outcomes. He also earned grant funding to study an intervention aimed at enhancing communication between general internists and medical subspecialty services, to improve teaching and patient care.
Dr. Block holds an elected position with the American College of Physician's Council of Resident/Fellow members, and is on the ACP's Education Committee and Restoring the Story TaskForce. He won the 2019 UCSF Innovations in Graduate Medical Education award for these national efforts and his local work to improve education at UCSF.
