What is a health humanities professor?

Health Humanities Professors are educators and researchers who explore the intersection of health, medicine, and the humanities. They teach courses and conduct research on topics such as medical ethics, narrative medicine, history of medicine, and the cultural and social aspects of health and illness.

How does a health humanities professor typically collaborate with colleagues from other disciplines?

Health Humanities Professors often work closely with faculty from medical, nursing, and allied health departments as well as scholars from literature, philosophy, and the arts. This interdisciplinary collaboration is essential for designing courses, co-leading research projects, and organizing events that explore the human experience of health and illness. Such teamwork enriches both teaching and scholarship, fostering a more holistic understanding of healthcare and patient care among students. Frequent cross-departmental meetings and joint initiatives are common, offering ample opportunities for professional growth and innovation.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a health humanities professor, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Health Humanities Professor, you generally need an advanced degree (Ph.D. or equivalent) in health humanities or a related field, along with a strong background in interdisciplinary research and teaching. Familiarity with learning management systems, digital humanities tools, and academic publishing platforms is typically required. Outstanding communication, critical thinking, and collaboration skills help foster engaging learning environments and interdisciplinary partnerships. These skills and qualifications are vital for delivering impactful education, advancing research, and bridging the gap between health and the humanities.

Job description

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.

About Johns Hopkins University

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

Gilman believed that teaching and research go hand in hand—that success in one depends on success in the other—and that a modern university must do both well. He also believed that sharing our knowledge and discoveries would help make the world a better place. In 145 years, we haven’t strayed from that vision. This is still a destination for excellent, ambitious scholars and a world leader in teaching and research. Distinguished professors mentor students in the arts and music, humanities, social and natural sciences, engineering, international studies, education, business, and the health professions. Those same faculty members, along with their colleagues at the university’s Applied Physics Laboratory, have made us the nation’s leader in federal research and development funding every year since 1979. That’s a fitting distinction for America’s first research university, a place that has revolutionized higher education in the U.S. and continues to bring knowledge and discoveries to the world.
