From disability competencies to disability consciousness: Leveraging the health humanities to develop disability-focused health professions curricula
As health professions educators heed the call for more robust disability-conscious education, we must look beyond the entrenched methods and epistemologies of the biomedical sciences. Health professions education (HPE) rooted solely in a “medical model” of disability presents an incomplete portrait of living with disability, reinforcing ableist stigma and misconceptions of disability as an individual limitation rather than a simultaneously social…

Scapegoat, Superspreader, Slut: Promiscuity and the Myth of Patient Zero in Soderbergh's Contagion (2011)
Steven Soderbergh's pandemic thriller Contagion (2011) remains a timely meditation on the global capitalist networks and quotidian, interpersonal interactions through which infectious disease spreads, with reviews and analyses of the film commending its scientific accuracy and chilling presage of COVID-19. The film's sexualized patient zero plotline demands further scrutiny, however. This essay first traces the evolution of the myth of patient ze…

People with disabilities (PWD) comprise a significant part of the population yet experience some of the most profound health disparities. Among the greatest barriers to quality care are inadequate health professions education related to caring for PWD. Drawing upon the expertise of health professions educators in medicine, public health, nursing, social work, and physician assistant programs, this forum showcases innovative methods for teaching c…
Reflective Writing about Near-Peer Blogs: A Novel Method for Introducing the Medical Humanities in Premedical Education
Narrative analysis, creative writing, and interactive reflective writing have been identified as valuable for professional identity formation and resilience among medical and premedical students alike. This study proposes that medical student blogs are novel pedagogical tools for fostering peer-to-peer learning in academic medicine and are currently underutilized as a near-peer resource for premedical students to learn about the medical professio…
Developing New Academic Programs in the Medical/Health Humanities: A Toolkit to Support Continued Growth
Borderland Biopolitics
This article situates early twentieth-century Latinx fiction within the intertwined histories of public health and border surveillance along the Rio Grande to reveal a “borderland biopolitics” unique to the US-Mexico border region. Drawing on three early twentieth-century novels—Daniel Venegas’s Adventures of Don Chipote, Américo Paredes’s George Washington Gómez, and Jovita González and Eve Raleigh’s Caballero—it adds another layer of historical…
Trust and privacy in the context of user-generated health data
This study identifies and explores evolving concepts of trust and privacy in the context of user-generated health data. We define "user-generated health data" as data captured through devices or software (whether purpose built or commercially available) and used outside of traditional clinical settings for tracking personal health data. The investigators conducted qualitative research through semistructured interviews (n = 32) with researchers, h…
