Hillary Villarreal, MA, was awarded a Master of Arts from Case Western Reserve University in Bioethics with a concentration in Medicine, Society and Culture. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Medical Humanities from Baylor University. She will begin working on her PhD in Health Care Ethics next Fall. She plans to pursue careers as both a clinical ethicist, providing ethics consultations to clinicians, and as a university professor, helping train future health care professionals in medical ethics. Her research interests include the intersections between medical ethics and narrative medicine. She believes the humanities are crucial to understanding the real-world context of making ethical decisions in the health care setting.
