Dennis Cope Visiting Professor

The Dennis W. Cope Visiting Professorship in the Doctor-Patient Relationship honors Dr. Cope, the programs that he developed and the teaching he provided, which strongly influenced many, and his modeling of medical practice, which was the example that a generation of general internists at UCLA attempted to emulate. Dr. Cope developed the Primary Care track in UCLA Internal Medicine. He contributed to the field of General Internal Medicine as a practitioner, teacher, mentor, and leader in medical education. He was particularly influential in the area of doctor-patient communication, developing educational programs to enhance effective communication with patients and families. Dr. Cope is recognized as a physician who could provide the internal medicine insight, continuity and coordination for the most complex patients by deep, warm interactions combined with expert medical knowledge. Celebrating the importance of these skills and capabilities is the goal of the Professorship. A detailed memoriam of the life and career of Dr. Cope is online here.
