I’m joined this week by Dr. Brandon Brown, the Vice-Chair of Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences at Indiana University School of Medicine, and an Associate Professor in many departments, including Medical Humanities. We discuss the relationship between Dr. Brown’s work as a doctor and his formation in the liberal arts as an undergraduate at the University of Dallas. He explains what happens when he reads poetry with medical students, the difference between doctors’ formal curriculum and hidden curriculum, and how Aristotle’s insights into habit have helped him to be a better doctor.
