Caitlin Gocecamat
Affiliate, School of Medicine - Biomedical Ethics
BioI am a 2026 Stanford Storytelling & Medicine Summer Scholar! I am a rising junior at San José State University (SJSU), majoring in Psychology with a minor in Child and Adolescent Development, and hoping to attend counseling psychology graduate school. As a McNair Scholar, I am investigating the impact of third places on Santa Clara County adolescents in retrospect. Also, I foster my cultural connections as a research assistant for the SJSU BIPOC-MPMH Lab by interviewing Filipinx in the Bay Area about their experiences with colorism and its impacts on mental health. Aside from research, I work as a Psychology Peer Mentor to enrich high schoolers' understanding and passion for psychology. In my free time, I love to dance, read interactive novels, listen to new music, sew, and scrapbook! I am excited to mix arts with medicine because wellness should be led by a holistic approach with lots of fun and emotion!

Niloufar Hosseinalipour
Affiliate, School of Medicine - Biomedical Ethics
BioNiloufar joined the French literature graduate program at the University of Minnesota in Fall 2023, completed her M.A. in June 2025, and is now pursuing her PhD. At Stanford, she participates in the Storytelling and Medicine program. Her research takes a historiographical approach to the intersections of French and Francophone literary traditions, the history of medicine, feminist thought, and postcolonial theory. She is particularly interested in how literary and medical discourses have collaborated in the pathologization of racialized and gendered bodies, and how these histories continue to shape contemporary understandings of illness and subjectivity. Drawing on thinkers such as Gayatri Spivak, Michel Foucault, and Georges Canguilhem, her work explores questions of representation, translation, and epistemic violence, as well as the ways literature both exposes and conceals the voices of marginalized subjects. Her interest in these issues is grounded in broader concerns about psychiatry’s political responsibility, the ethical stakes of diagnosis, and the role of narrative in mediating suffering.

Jenny Clark Schiff
Affiliate, Department Funds
Fellow in SoM - Biomedical EthicsBioJenny Clark Schiff, PhD, MA, MA is the Clinical Ethics Fellow at the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics. She has research interests in reproductive ethics, disability ethics, and bioethical issues in sport (especially in the youth/pediatric setting). As part of her fellowship training, she is an Ethics Consultant and member of the Ethics Committee for both Stanford Health Care and Stanford Children's Health.
Dr. Schiff completed her PhD in Philosophy at The Graduate Center of The City University of New York in 2024.

She is interested in how to improve the doctor-patient relationship in settings of uncertainty, and how to better design healthcare systems and medical education to care for patients with poorly understood medical conditions in a more just and humane manner.
While pursuing her PhD, she was an Ethics Fellow, and then a Senior Ethics Fellow, at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where she facilitated ethics didactic sessions for medical students and various residency programs.

Originally from Punjab, India, he is passionate about medicine, education, mentorship, and helping others feel supported and capable. As a Scholar in Stanford’s Storytelling and Medicine Program’s Class of 2026, he is exploring the role of storytelling in medicine. His interest in storytelling comes from his own life experiences and from the people he has met through teaching, research, and community service. His participation in Yale’s Foundations of Bioethics program deepened his interest in clinical ethics, public health, and the human side of healthcare. His research interests include cardiovascular health in South Asian communities and the use of immersive virtual reality to make complex scientific concepts more accessible and engaging. Armandeep’s interest in medicine was also shaped by his father’s illness and recovery, which showed him the difference a compassionate physician can make in a family’s life. He hopes to become a physician who sees patients and their families as whole people shaped by their stories, circumstances, and lived experiences.
