Episode 6, Mar 31, 2023, 04:00 PM
Join us in our conversation with medical student Walker Magrath about his recent work as a scholarly concentrator in the history of medicine. In 2022, Walker published an article in Annals of Internal Medicine titled “The Fall of the Nation’s First Gender-Affirming Surgery Clinic.” In this episode, we discuss the history of this gender-affirming surgery clinic here at Johns Hopkins, how studying the medical humanities and medical history can improve medical education and practice, and the continued struggle for equity in LGBTQIA+ healthcare. Thanks for listening!
