Erica T. Holt is a historian of medicine in modern China and Taiwan. Her research focuses on birth workers and their role in the transformation of the medical landscape in East Asia.

She teaches the history of medicine through a global lens, including pluralistic medical paradigms in order to introduce students to the varied approaches to healing throughout history.
