Activities Related to Humanizing Medicine
Clinical Care:My clinical practice is with the After Care Clinic, a safety-net clinic for patients who have been discharged from the hospital and do not have a primary care provider and/or lack insurance and/or have additional barriers to care.
Education: I created and led a narrative medicine storytelling curriculum for medical students for eight years that involved students co-writing patient stories and sharing these stories with their patients. I now am faculty advisor for a narrative medicine student group.
Research: My medical education research has involved studying educational innovations that promote reflection, humanism, and inclusivity, as well as topics such as trust in the patient-physician relationship and learner well-being.
Leadership/Administrative:I helped found our Hopkins chapter of the Gold Humanism Honor Society in 2023 and serve as chapter co-advisor. Inducted students engage in activities to help foster humanism in our Hopkins community.
