Activities Related to Humanizing Medicine
Clinical Care: As an emergency physician at Johns Hopkins and Johns Hopkins Bayview, I serve patients from the surrounding local communities.
Education: I have focused my career as an educator on integrating the health humanities into undergraduate, graduate, and continuing health professions education. To this end, I teach courses at the Hopkins undergraduate campus and electives in the School of Medicine, and lead curricula in health humanities for our residency program and in faculty development. I have developed resources and workshops to support other educators in doing the same at other institutions. My goal is to leverage the health humanities to support clinicians in truly seeing their patients as individuals, in understanding and acting upon the broader societal contexts of health and illness, and in also making space for themselves as individuals within healthcare.
Research:My research work focuses on disparities in access to care in emergency medicine.
