About

With over 30 member institutions worldwide, the CHCI Health and Medical Humanities Network is one of the largest organizations forging new interdisciplinary networks and collaborations between campus, clinic, and community. Through this online Network, both scholars in the medical and health humanities and the general public will find directories of recent scholarship, projects, events and social media activity related to the field throughout the world. The organization meets annually at our Summer Institutes, which are hosted around the world to promote new knowledge in the health humanities.

The Network is sponsored by the  Consortium for Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI) , and this site is hosted at the Society of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities at Columbia University.
