John David (JD) Ike, M.D., M.Sc., is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Hospital Medicine at Duke University School of Medicine and a Faculty Associate in the Trent Center for Bioethics, Humanities, & History of Medicine. Trained in art history before medicine, he practices full-time as a hospitalist at Duke University Hospital and teaches at the intersection of the visual arts and clinical practice across the full continuum of medical education—from Duke undergraduates to medical students in the Armstrong Scholars Program, internal medicine residents in a museum-based curriculum he directs in partnership with the Nasher Museum of Art, and practicing health professionals through the Harvard Macy Institute. His scholarship examines the use of the visual arts in medical education and the broader relationship between arts engagement and health.
