ABOUT CHRISTY AUDEH
Hi! My name is Christy Audeh, and I graduated from the University of Virginia with a Distinguished Major in Medical Anthropology, Ethics, and Care. I will be attending medical school in the fall. In addition to my experiences outlined below, I undertook independent research on the eugenics movement and the professionalization of medicine to better understand how medical education informs and is informed by social and political movements. I developed my research into a tour intended for pre-health and medical students and have enjoyed getting to share my work on a broader scale. My interests in the historical and cultural understandings of ethics and medicine have led me to my current role as a research fellow in biomedical ethics at Mayo Clinic. I am especially interested in the role of narrative in bioethical decision-making, as well as the ethical considerations in pain management and psychiatric care.
