Schwarzman Session - The Humanity in Humanitarian Medicine

Schwarzman Sessions are peer-led gatherings where conversations generate collaborations and move ideas into action. Because seats are limited, registrants will be automatically placed on the waitlist and will be notified via email if they are selected to participate.
Human life is full of stories. Patients exist not in individual case studies of illnesses but rather in the context of their life narratives. Join Dr. Matthew Morrison and Galen Jones MPH/MBA ’26 for this engaging Schwarzman Session at the intersection of human experience and medical practice.
In this compelling lunchtime conversation, consider how physicians and public health workers might leverage the humanities to more effectively navigate patient care. Discuss how the ability to reconcile the humanities and medicine could be applied to healthcare in a broad range of settings — from emergency medicine in New York City hospitals to combat zones in Ukraine.
