Asia Pacific Medical Humanities & the Arts Summit
October 14-16, 2026 | Virtual | FREE

What does it mean to stay human in medicine?
Join scholars, health care workers, artists, educators, and others from across the Asia-Pacific region for a virtual gathering exploring the intersections of medicine, narrative, ethics, technology, and the human experience.
Rather than a traditional academic conference, the Summit is designed as an intellectual “commons,” a space for short, engaging contributions and conversations across disciplines, perspectives, and regions.

Four themes:
• Difficult Emotions
• Unsung Stories
• Connecting Past & Present
• Staying Human
October 15–16 | 8 AM–12 PM Hong Kong
October 14–15 | 5–9 PM Pacific
Convened by a committee representing Stanford University and the University of Hong Kong.
