A half century ago, as we conquered polio with a vaccine and went to the moon, medicine and science received a consensus of bipartisan and popular support. Great medical progress since. How to rebuild that consensus? @alan_dow @jdavidwarren @ermiwe @alex_bolt1 #CFASChat

Yes, local op-eds from leaders can be effective in promoting a public health message in a positive way: richmond.com/opinion/column… @alan_dow @jdavidwarren @ermiwe @alex_bolt1 #CFASChat

Do you think science has become more politicized? Give an example or two to support your position. @alan_dow @jdavidwarren @ermiwe @alex_bolt1 #cfaschat

@aderse Het @aderse @colleenmfarrell sorry for being late on this. Humanities is about critical thinking, questioning norms, seeking multiple perspectives. We can't advocate for #patients & communities w/o truly understanding their challenges. #medhumchat #CFASChat

Q2: The AAMC CFAS Advocacy Committee asks “What role can medical humanities play in advocating for our patients and communities?” #MedHumChat #CFASChat

#Q1: What are the challenges you face in incorporating humanities in your curricula? What strategies have been helpful? #MedHumChat #CFASChat #FRAHME

Hi. Art Derse here, chair of the AAMC CFAS Advocacy Committee and Director of the MCW Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities @MCWBioethics with a couple of questions for us. #CFASChat #MedHumChat
