Trent Center faculty members Drs. Ryan Antiel and Sneha Mantri were recently named as new faculty scholars in two prestigious national scholarship programs.
Ryan Antiel, MD, MSME was one of three early-career faculty in the country to be accepted into the Greenwall Faculty Scholars Program in Bioethics. The program provides substantial support for 3 years to promising early-career faculty members in bioethics. Dr Antiel’s project, “The Ethics of the Artificial Womb: Clinical Innovations at the Margins of Viability,” explores artificial womb technology, a novel intervention for extremely premature babies that may lower infant death and disability.
Dr. Antiel is Assistant Professor of Pediatric Surgery, Duke University School of Medicine. He serves as director of the Trent Center’s Clinical Ethics Fellowship Program, and The Project on the Good Surgeon in the Department of Surgery.
Sneha Mantri, MD, MS was selected for the Macy Faculty Scholars Program. This award is given to five exceptional educators in medicine and nursing from across the country, and provides substantial mentorship and support for a two-year period. Dr. Mantri launched the one-year Moral Movements in Medicine elective for pre-clinical interprofessional students in 2020-2021, and has guided its extension to the Armstrong Humanities Scholars, a four-year longitudinal track for medical students. As a Macy Faculty Scholar, Dr. Mantri plans to expand the program’s longitudinal track to include clinical-phase interprofessional students, with an emphasis on social justice and community-engaged practice.
Dr. Mantri is director of the Trent Center’s Program in Medical Humanities and is Associate Professor of Neurology at Duke University School of Medicine.
Congratulations to Drs. Antiel and Mantri for receiving these significant awards!
