Dana Dieringer, MD
I am an adult psychiatrist and palliative medicine physician within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. I am dual board certified within the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and American Board of Internal Medicine. I practice at Harborview Medical Center (HMC) on both palliative care consult and inpatient psychiatry teams. I help lead the HMC psychiatry quality improvement (QI) committee. My main areas of interest and expertise are in: the care and treatment of patients facing serious persistent mental illness (SPMI), particularly those with co-occurring chronic medical illness; complex communication skills with patients and families; the use of person-centered language in medicine; interprofessional teamwork. I enjoy providing clinical teaching and QI mentorship to medical trainees such as residents and medical students. I am the co-director of the interprofessional health-sciences elective “The Healer’s Art.” I am a member of the Northwest Narrative Medicine Collaborative.
