In this episode, Julia Sizek, a PhD candidate in Anthropology at UC Berkeley, interviews Dr. Victoria Massie, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology, and Faculty Affiliate for the Center for African & African American Studies (CAAAS), the Medical Humanities Program and the Center for the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality (CSWGS) at Rice University in Houston.  A recent alumna of the Ph.D. program in Sociocultural Anthropology and the Designated Emphasis in Science & Technology Studies programs at UC Berkeley, Massie's work draws on black feminist kinship studies at the intersection of racial capitalism and biocapitalism to understand the centrality of emerging biotechnologies for mobility for people of African descent, with a focus on Cameroon. Outside of her work as anthropologist, Massie is a creative non-fiction writer. On the podcast, Sizek interviews Massie about her research tracking diasporic connections between the US and Cameroon, and the wider world of genetic ancestry testing. Produced by the University of California, Berkeley's Social Science Matrix, the Matrix Podcast features interviews with scholars from across the UC Berkeley campus. Listen to other episodes here.

Prof Ian Sabroe and Dr Dieter Declercq talk to Dr Lauren Barron about the role of humanities in medical education, focussing especially on the innovative Medical Humanities Program at Baylor University, which provides undergraduate students who aspire towards careers in healthcare with a foundation in both sciences and humanities. Dr Lauren Barron is Clinical Professor, Director of the Medical Humanities Program, and Inaugural Michael E DeBakey, M.D., Selma DeBakey and Lois DeBakey Chair for Medical Humanities at Baylor University. The Medical Humanities Program at Baylor is one of the first of its kind in the United States. The program partners the humanities with science education to holistically prepare those going into the medical field. Lauren dedicates most of her time to the professional formation of university students before they enter into medical school and other health professional programs with the belief that they need more than basic science courses to prepare them to be the kind of caregivers we want and need them to be.

NOTE: We recorded this bonus episode before the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to cancel the HEAART lecture series. We hope to re-launch it sometime in 2021. Today, we're talking about the Medical Humanities with Linda Raphael, PhD, who directs the Medical Humanities Program and Track here at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Dr. Raphael brings to this discipline a background of teaching and scholarship in 19th and 20th century American and British literature, holocaust literature, and philosophy. Dr. Raphael holds an MA in History and a Ph.D. in English and studied philosophy as a postgraduate at Oxford University. She was a faculty member at Ohio State University before joining the faculty in the GW Department of English in 1996. In 2005, she developed courses in narrative and medicine and became the Director of Medical Humanities at SMHS. Her research and writing are increasingly directed toward narrative and medicine, including “how doctors listen to patients” and “what patients want in a physician.” We discuss the following: 1. What are the Medical Humanities? 2. How were you introduced to the Medical Humanities? 3. How do the Medical Humanities impact patient care? 4. What does the research tell us about the benefits of the Medical Humanities? 5. Tell us a little bit about your research and writing on narrative and medicine. 6. How do you incorporate the Medical Humanities into physician wellness? ◘ Related Content GW Office of Medical Humanities https://smhs.gwu.edu/medicalhumanities/ Medical Humanities: An international journal published by the BMJ https://mh.bmj.com/ The Importance of Medical Humanities https://www.mededpublish.org/manuscripts/1958 Why are medical humanities relevant in an era of technologically-driven healthcare? https://www.healthethicsblog.com/single-post/2018/02/21/why-are-medical-humanities-relevant-in-an-era-of-technologically-driven-healthcare ◘ Transcript http://bit.ly/2IYEuwe ◘ This podcast features the song “Follow Your Dreams” (freemusicarchive.org/music/Scott_Ho…ur_Dreams_1918) by Scott Holmes, available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial (01https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) license. ◘ Disclaimer: The content and information shared in GW Integrative Medicine is for educational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice.

COVID-19 is constantly on our minds and on our screens. How has the history of contagion media shaped the way we respond to and think about pandemics like this? How do we handle the shifting paradigm of health communications in a digital age? In this episode, Kirsten Ostherr, director of Rice’s Medical Humanities Program and Medical Futures Lab, discusses representation, social media, marginalized communities and the dangers of misinformation around the global crisis.

Ray Barfield, MD is Professor of Pediatrics and Christian Philosophy at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. He was the founding director of two programs at Duke: Pediatric Quality of Life Palliative Care and Theology, Medicine, and Culture. Currently he is the director of the Medical Humanities Program for the Trent Center for Bioethics, Medical Humanities, and History of Medicine in the Medical School.

What can doctors learn from making art? For this episode, I sat down with Dr. Jock Murray to talk about the Medical Humanities Program he founded as Dean of Medicine at Dalhousie University. We discuss the qualities a good physician needs to have, how patients benefit by interacting with a well-balanced physician, and how doctors can learn to appreciate their work by incorporating a little bit more of the arts and humanities in their lives.
