Advancing Digital Health Humanities Institute Symposium In-Person / Online
The Advancing Digital Health Humanities Institute (ADHHI) will be showcasing the work of its awarded scholars through a day-long symposium showcasing projects that represent the future of research into the human experiences of health.
Serving as a capstone for the 10 ADDHI scholars who completed the two-year National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)-funded program, the symposium is open to UCSF students, faculty, researchers, staff, and the public.
The program will also feature a keynote address by Kirsten Ostherr, PhD, a leading digital health humanist from Rice University. Her talk, “Digital Health Humanities: A Translational Model for the Age of AI”, will examine the intersection of humanistic inquiry with growing AI infrastructure in hospitals and medical education.
