The Art and Soul of Healing

1 credits · Undergraduate

This course offers an introduction to the multifaceted experience of being a physician through the humanities and the lived experiences of doctors.

Through narrative medicine, discussions, debates, readings, movies, case studies, guest speakers, and experiential activities, students will gain a foundational understanding of the emotional, ethical, and interpersonal skills essential for compassionate and effective medical practice. Open only to students in the FOCUS Program.
