Biography

Dr. Charles L. Bosk works as Professor of Clinical Anesthesiology and Critical Care at The University of Pennsylvania Health System. He is also working as Senior Fellow, Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics. He received his B.A. from Wesleyan University, 1970 M.A. Sociology, University of Chicago, 1974, and Ph.D. Sociology, University of Chicago, 1976. His research interests include: the culture of medicine. In particular, how health care professionals make sense of experiences in which time-pressured decisions are required in situations filled with un-resolvable uncertainty. When those decisions lead to adverse outcomes, I am interested in which decisions are considered blameless and blameworthy
