Jack Coulehan

Jack Coulehan is an Emeritus Professor of Medicine and Preventive Medicine, and former director of the Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care, and Bioethics at Stony Brook University. His work in the medical literature ranges from clinical trials of depression treatment in primary care and studies of heart disease among Navajo Indians to essays on medical ethics, education, and humanities. His award-winning textbook, The Medical Interview: Mastering Skills for Clinical Practice (F. A. Davis, 5th edition, 2006) is widely used in American medical schools. Jack's poems have appeared in literary magazines and medical journals in the United States, England, Ireland, Canada, and Australia; and his work is frequently anthologized. He is the author of six collections of poetry, including The Wound Dresser (JB Stillwater, 2016), which was a finalist for the 2016 Dorset Poetry Prize. Jack co-edited Blood & Bone and Primary Care: More Poems by Physicians (University of Iowa Press, 1998 and 2006) and edited Chekhov's Doctors, a collection of Anton Chekhov's medical tales (Kent State University Press, 2003). He previously published Bursting with Danger and Music with Plain View Press (2012). Among Jack's honors are the Humanities Award of the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine and the Nicholas Davies Scholar Award of the American College of Physicians for "outstanding lifetime contributions to humanism in medicine." Jack currently serves as president of the Walt Whitman Birthplace Association.
