8 | Dr. Arthur Nahill on poetry, failures of medical education & general medicine

Dr. Art Nahill is originally from the Boston area and attended Yale University and after three years as a high-school science teacher obtained his medical degree from the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He completed his residency in Internal Medicine at the Harvard-affiliated Mount Auburn Hospital and spent the next twelve years practicing and teaching in general medicine in the Boston area before moving to New Zealand with his Kiwi wife and two children in 2005.Since changing hemispheres, Art is now working in the General Medicine Department of Middlemore Hospital, is a clinical educator, and writer with an opinion on most things, especially learning and teaching about how we think and all the ways we might innovate and improve our struggling health system. He is also a widely-published, award-winning poet. In this episode, we discuss Art's journey into medicine, working as a clinical director and moral injury, our shared struggles in medical school and failures of medical education, his new diagnostic app with Dr. Nic Szecket, and how poetry has intertwined and become the backbone of his medical journey. As a bonus, Art does a reading at the end of the episode of his poem 'Cognitive Assessment'. You can find Art and purchase his poetry from his website: https://twohemispherespoetry.com/ as well as on Amazon.
