International Health Humanities Network Membership

Saba Mirikermanshahi

I'm a medical student from Iran, and I started working in the field of Health Humanities 5 years ago. In my country, Iran, we hold an annual national olympiad for medical students in different areas, and one of the fields is "Inters Disciplinary Studies in Health Humanities". This olympiad introduced m to the field, and I won 3 medals. Later I focused on the philosophy of Medicine, specifically Phenomenology and existentialism in Medicine. Narrative Medicine and Bioethics interest me as well. Among the projects I have been working on, I have contributed as co-founder ad the chief editor of the Philosophy of Medicine service in the first Iranian student magazine of Health Humanities. I also tried to help the development of medical humanities in my country through translation, writing, and teaching and coaching younger medical students. I also tried to present the idea and concept of health humanities in academic events in Berlin, Muscat, and Tehran and online opportunities I had.

Above all, my primary interest is to join the international dialogue around Health Humanities, and I hope joining this network would greatly help this purpose.
