Guy Micco, director of the Resource Center on Aging

Guy Micco is a physician who combines teaching as a clinical professor at UC Berkeley with part-time practice in hospice and palliative care. His interests include suffering, aging, and death; the interface of medicine and the humanities; and medical ethics — all of which he brings to his work with medical students enrolled in the UC Berkeley-UCSF Joint Medical Program. A former ethics-committee chair at Alta Bates-Summit Medical Center, Micco now directs the Resource Center on Aging and co-directs the Center for Medicine, the Humanities, and Law, both of which are at UC Berkeley.
