Dr. Kunreuther encourages me to be more open about my health issue/s to better help me and appreciates the health updates that I had been providing her in between scheduled visits. She analyzes every update and uses it to give me a plan of action in case of another “episode” or for any activities that could result in one. Dr. Kunreuther and her office are very active in responding to my messages that are sent through the nm.org patient portal.

Disclosures

Elizabeth P. Kunreuther, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
