International Health Humanities Network Membership

I'm a family medicine physician in the US with an advanced degree in medical education (MHPE) from the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Chicago where I focused on medical humanities specifically the pedagogy of Literature and Medicine, or Narrative Medicine.  I was provleiged to be taught and mentored by , among others, Suzanne Poirier, Rita Charon, Kathryn Montgomery, and Catherine Belling.   My professional experience includes the design and implementation of courses for medical students an residents which have been evaluated positively.  I've presented my research at national and international meetings and have published in international peer reviewed medical journals.  I've been building my depth and range of expertise in medical/health humanities scholarship for the last 10 years.  I live in Chicago, and am an avid classical musician, in addition to my work as a physician and educator.
