The CAHH Health Humanities Rounds, launched in January 2026, offer CAHH members access to synchronous, online educational opportunities that bring together scholars, health professionals, educators, artists, learners, and community members working in the health humanities. These interactive rounds create space for shared learning, critical dialogue, and reflection across disciplines.
Upcoming Rounds
CAHH members are invited to join us online on Thursday, February 26, 2026 at 12 noon AST for a talk by Elamin Abdelmahmoud titled “The Question is the Answer: Literary Approaches to Communication for Medicine.”
