On this episode, Rob sits down with three distinguished faculty members in Professors Patricia Olynyk from the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, Associate Professor Shanti Parikh from Sociocultural Anthropology and the Department of African and African-American Studies in the College of Arts & Sciences, and Dr Piroska Kopar from the Department of Surgery in the School of Medicine at WashU. The three of them teach the Beyond Boundaries Art of Medicine course next Spring. Rob interviews them to discuss this equal parts interesting and exciting class at WashU. Professors Olynyk, Parikh, and Kopar discuss their research areas of interest and practice, the connections that led to their collaboration on the course, and wise advice they have for first year college students based on their own personal experiences.
