Jennifer K. Clark, MD

Dr. Jennifer K. Clark is a physician, educator, and thought leader who has spent over two decades on the frontlines of medicine, pioneering the field of hospice and palliative care long before it was formally recognized.

Her signature framework, Suffer, Choose, Create, Die, challenges conventional narratives around suffering and offers a pathway to self-actualization. She serves as a systems consultant,  professor, and sought-after speaker for leaders, clinicians, and curious humans alike. Whether addressing C-suite executives or bedside caregivers, Jennifer invites her audience into the real work of becoming: learning to suffer and suffer well!
