The subject of Tracy Kidder's book "Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World," Farmer is a renowned infectious-disease specialist, anthropologist, the recipient of a MacArthur "genius" grant, and co-founder of Partners in Health, a nonprofit organization bringing healthcare to impoverished parts of the world. Farmer's visit to the University of Washington was part of the inaugural year of the UW Common Book, a project aiming to engage all entering University of Washington students in a common intellectual experience of reading the same book. In 2006, the selection was "Mountains Beyond Mountains." The University of Washington is committed to ensuring digital accessibility in our services, programs, and activities.
