MedHumChat Launches Website
MedHumChat (short for Medical Humanities Chat) strives to foster reflection, empathy, and connection in healthcare through engagement with the arts and humanities. Created by Colleen Farrell, MD, a resident physician in internal medicine at NYU Langone Health and Bellevue Hospital, the core of MedHumChat is twice-monthly Twitter chats in which participants discuss two works (poems, short stories, essays, paintings) on a shared theme. Now, a new companion website will curate these conversations and more.
