After ten years on the East Coast, where I worked and taught at the Cambridge Hospital/Harvard residency program and Brown University, we were drawn to New Mexico by its beauty and by the clinical and teaching opportunities at UNM. I work with residents and students through the psychiatric education department.
My research interests are at the border between medicine and anthropology. They concern the ethnographic and phenomenological study of healing and healers. Particular interests include the conditions of trust in healing, hierarchies of resort for treatment among people with mental illness, the spectra of medical theories (from empiricism to rationalism and realism to constructivism), the medical interview as a speech event, and the use of persuasion and rhetoric in clinical interactions.
I am also the Director of the Office of Professionalism for UNMH Health Sciences Center.
