2025 HuMed Event
Featuring Dr. Jennifer Hong
DATE AND TIME TBD
Jennifer Hong graduated from Duke in 2014 with a double major in English and Neuroscience and a minor in Cultural Anthropology. During this time, she developed an interest in medical narratives and wrote her senior thesis titled, "Women in Medicine: What Medical Narratives Reveal About Patriarchy in the Medical System." This interest continued through medical school at Emory University School of Medicine, during which she was internship director of online magazine for medical students, in-Training. She subsequently moved to complete Internal Medicine Residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital where she was part of the Primary Care Track and Leadership in Health Equity Pathway. She is currently a primary care physician at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, where she enjoys taking care of patients from different walks of life, teaching medical students and residents, and continuously advocating for health equity and improving primary care access for all.

Please join us in the Spring of 2025 to welcome her!
about
Our mission is to highlight and expand upon topics at the intersection of Humanities and Medicine. Annually, we invite and sponsor speakers who majored or minored in English to address the Duke Student Body and share their own experiences embracing duality within these fields of study. In hosting these events, we seek to unite those who hope to combine, rather than choose between, these subjects and thereby enhance our intellectual culture.
"If one looked for the bridge, the missing link, between the world of words and the world of things, one did not have to look far: it was there in our...smoke-filled labs, and in our future trade."
