In this introductory clip, Dr. Kirsten Ostherr, Director of Rice University’s Medical Humanities Research Institute (MHRI), lays the foundation for understanding why medical humanities matter in today’s rapidly evolving health landscape. She introduces MHRI’s unique mission as one of the few institutes worldwide dedicated to translational medical humanities, an approach that brings cultural insight, narrative understanding, and human experience directly into healthcare research and practice.
Dr. Ostherr explains how many of the most pressing questions in health and medicine cannot be answered through biomedical methods alone. By examining patient stories, lived experiences, and the social contexts that shape illness, MHRI helps illuminate dimensions of health that traditional scientific tools often overlook.
This short segment offers a first look at the institute’s perspective and its role within Rice’s broader collaborative health ecosystem—an ecosystem ENRICH highlights through its focus on partnerships across the Texas Medical Center.
