"Dreger is an associate professor of clinical medical humanities and bioethics at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University. Her work focuses on using history to improve the biomedical and social treatment of people born with socially challenging anatomies, including those born with disorders of sexual development, cranio-facial anomalies, conjoinment and dwarfism. She examines why certain trends in U. S. medicine are alarming, including cosmetic medicine, direct-to-consumer advertising of drugs and the selling of growth hormones to normal children."
