This project was extra special as I got to work with two brilliant alums of Georgetown's Medical Humanities Initiative @vinayakjain.bsky.social (now a pulm fellow and MedHum rising star) & Kayla Zamanian (now a law student). Enjoyable, and mind expanding from start to finish. Thank you both.

Note: "Clinician-scholar" often means MD / DO + biomedical training. We're arguing for expansion: clinician + humanities as a vital formation. As someone who was a humanist before becoming a physician, I see & am grateful for the many humanists who've done foundational work on health campuses.

AI overlords, waning public trust, and funding/information outages demand we reimagine medical research. We NEED the interpretive skills, historical perspective & structural / contextual analysis humanities bring. Humanists are the OG translational scholars.
