Health Humanities Fellow - #Faculty

The Health Humanities fellowship is a one-year-long program designed to provide Emergency Medicine physicians with an in-depth understanding of the core foundational principles of the Health Humanities as applied to clinical care, health professions education, and scholarship, with an emphasis on how the Health Humanities may pertain to health equity and social justice. This fellowship, the first of its kind, is especially timely and relevant - the humanities have been recognized as tools of pedagogy, advocacy, expression, and critique necessary to advancing health equity, and have been deemed crucial to health professions training by national healthcare organizations. However, opportunities for targeted advanced faculty development or graduate medical education training in these fields are limited. Through a combination of didactics, experiential learning and application, and mentorship within the existing frameworks, resources, and leadership of the Center for Medical Humanities and Social Medicine (CMHSM) and Health Humanities at Hopkins Emergency Medicine (H3EM), the ultimate goal of the fellowship is to equip the graduate with the skills necessary to become a nationally recognized leader in education, scholarship, research, and/or advocacy as relevant to the Health Humanities as applied to the Health Professions. Prerequisites: Applicants must be Board Eligible or Board Certified in Emergency Medicine from a U.S. Emergency Medicine training program. Special consideration may be given to Board Eligible or Board Certified non-Emergency Medicine graduates. They must be in good standing with the academic faculty of origin. Experience: Applicants must demonstrate preexisting engagement with scholarship, research, or education in the Health Humanities including, but not limited to, the fields of narrative medicine, creative writing, history of medicine, medical anthropology, medical sociology, bioethics, visual arts, performing arts, and arts-based education. Experience may be demonstrated by scholarly or creative publications or projects, engagement with curriculum development or education in the humanities for health professions trainees, or advanced degrees relevant to the health humanities (degrees are not a pre-requisite or requirement). Salary: $92,000 Please attach a written letter of interest, Curriculum Vitae and three letters of reference.
