Medicine has largely underutilized the power of humanities to advance scientific research.
In our piece, physician/historian @thelakshmik.bsky.social, @hls.harvard.edu student Kayla Z & I describe how this methodological bridging can strengthen scientific enquiry.

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.

I am SO excited for this piece especially because it dramatically breaks with the “enrichment” model of #HealthHumanities.
The studia humanitatis have always been about rigorous research and scholarship - the humanists were early translational researchers!
Can’t wait to dig in.

This is great! Looking forward to reading.
Bridging this gap is what Indigenous scholars have been advocating for decades: calling for recognition of the value and legitimacy of bridging methodologies across disciplines AND worldviews to answer complex health questions.

An important wake up call!
There is so much at stake here for both our universities (including students/grads/faculty), and society at large.

My op-ed in the @chicagomaroon.bsky.social on the University of Chicago’s appalling plans to gut the humanities and possibly eliminate the South Asian studies department chicagomaroon.com/48353/viewpo...
Lost in Extraterrestrial Translation
The University celebrates the success of area studies alumni, all the while erasing the programs that made those careers possible.

Once again, the sheriff is here with receipts. 💯
Aw jeez, not this again.
According to this consultant, hospitals now *lose* an average of $304,312 per physician per year.
🤦🏻♂️
Guess it's time for another thread on budgetary gerrymandering.

The @atsearlycareer.bsky.social folks provide so many opportunities for students, residents and fellows interested in #PCCM.
Formal mentorship programs, networking events & ofc the resident boot camp! Follow them if you’re a trainee.
