What role does creativity play in the field of medicine?
Vidya Viswanathan is a writer and primary care pediatrician in Philadelphia. She founded Doctors Who Create, a community focused on medicine and creativity, and led the Creativity in Medicine conference in Philadelphia in 2019. She has published longform journalism and narrative nonfiction in outlets including The Atlantic, Vox, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and JAMA. Vidya trained at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for pediatrics residency. She attended undergrad at Harvard College where she majored in Social Studies and studied Mandarin Chinese, and spent the year afterward on a Fulbright scholarship teaching English in Taiwan. She did her post-bac studies after her return, and moved to Philadelphia for medical school–and hasn’t left since. Currently, Vidya is dabbling in fiction writing and working on a novel about women of color in medical training. She lives in Philly with her husband and their twin toddlers, and reads several (children’s) books a day.
