Listen now
Description
Join us in our conversation with Nathan Irvin and Kamna Balhara, both physicians and professors in the Emergency Medicine Department here at Johns Hopkins. In this episode, we hear about the phenomenal work that these two are doing spearheading Health Humanities at Hopkins Emergency Medicine (H3EM). In particular, we discuss why humanities are vital for physicians working at the “front door of the hospital” (the emergency room), which exists at the nexus of the hospital and the community, and the nexus of society and health.
