Amy Caruso Brown

Amy Caruso Brown attended the University of Virginia as an undergraduate and later received a medical degree from Emory University and master's degrees in medical anthropology from Oxford University and in clinical research from the University of Colorado. She trained as a pediatrician and pediatric hematologist/oncologist at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Children's Hospital Colorado. She has lived in six countries and speaks five languages badly (plus Latin!). After five years living (and skiing, hiking, rowing, and sometimes missing humidity and green things) in Denver, she is now an associate professor of pediatrics, bioethics and humanities in New York.

Amy's academic interests include the provision of ethical health care to all children and families, gender identity, or ability to pay, particularly in the current political climate; the role of parental reasons in pediatric treatment disagreements; and the promotion of pediatric cancer treatment and palliative care in resource-limited settings. She developed a justice-centered ethics and population health curriculum to medical students, which is available as a textbook: https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030035433. A partial bibiliography is also available at: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/myncbi/1F9gek5wjv954/bibliography/public/
