I have had the privilege of knowing Dr. Scott Abramson for many years in his role as the Lead Communication Consultant. Dr. Abramson is a master storyteller who transforms real-life scenarios involving physicians, patients, colleagues, and family members into invaluable lessons on effective communication. His Communication Column that he wrote for many years is legendary, garnering widespread acclaim from Kaiser physicians across Northern California. Dr. Abramson's insights are practical, resonant, and profoundly impactful, demonstrating his unparalleled ability to convey complex ideas with clarity and empathy. Even in retirement, Dr. Abramson’s dedication remains unwavering. He enthusiastically joins our Leadership events as a guest speaker, generously sharing his wealth of knowledge and experience. Dr. Abramson's contributions have profoundly enriched our professional lives. We are deeply grateful for his expertise and look forward to continuing to learn from his wisdom for many years to come.

Dr. Abramson has been a MAVEN Project physician volunteer since March of 2019. He has been an exemplary volunteer not only as a medical consultant responding to consults on our platform, but has delivered multiple CME medical sessions each year on neurology topics and provider-patient communications topics. He is a passionate, creative and engaging speaker, a real ‘fan favorite’. I highly recommend Dr. Abramson.

Dr. Abramson is an outstanding speaker. He has taught topics of communication and physician burnout multiple times for both our First year and 4th year medical students. The students are fully engaged in his presentations which are filled with wisdom, humor, and humility. He is one of the best speakers we have ever had and the students agree!

"Excellent presentation! Great information and presenter was so personable. This was such a fantastic presentation and so helpful. Already today I applied the 4 principals of communication. It was presented in such a way that made it really easy to apply practically. Dr. Abramson was delightful and kept everyone engaged."
