Feature Stories
Art and Soul
If life is a canvas, it turns out that many alumni have the gifts, the discipline, and the inspiration to turn it into something quite beautiful. Meet some alumni who take art as seriously as science.
Medicine: A Love Story
There are many ways to deconstruct the distinguished career of Arthur Kleinman ’62, MD ’67–scholar, clinician, teacher, mentor, founder of medical anthropology. But let’s start with an old-fashioned idea: love. For Kleinman, a love for the humanities, and then for his wife, Joan, turned into a lifelong passion for understanding how to lead a deeply felt, moral life.
Where People Come First
Choosing a “road less traveled” at Stanford shapes the lives and careers of alumni who become primary care physicians. Whether it’s a high-risk birth that turns out just fine or caring for an entire family over time, these alumni place a premium on relationships.
