In addition to addressing multiple dimensions of suffering among patients, palliative care aims to foster healing\u2014a relational process through which one experiences personal growth and transcendence. Palliative care clinicians build relationships with patients through communication practices that enhance trust and other relational elements. These relationships hold the potential to mitigate patient suffering. However, patients from visible minority groups may face structural barriers and clinician biases that impede the formation of healing-oriented relationships. We know little about their experiences of relationships in this setting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To examine the qualities of healing clinician\u2013patient relationships from the perspective of visible minority patients receiving outpatient palliative care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Interpretive description.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and analysis:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We will recruit 10\u201315 patients who identify themselves as being part of a visible minority group and have had at least two outpatient palliative care visits.
