Faculty, Students, Staff, and Connections

Our faculty bring expertise from history, philosophy, literature, and the social sciences, reflecting the interdisciplinary heart of medical humanities and bioethics. Students in our programs are equally wide-ranging — all united by a commitment to examining medicine’s human dimensions. Together, our community of teachers, researchers, and learners spans the university and reaches well beyond it.
