Health Humanities & Bioethics Pathways

Objectives

The Pathway program provides medical students with an enriched experience in humanities and clinical ethics throughout their four years of medical school. Students with particular interests in humanities, social medicine, or bioethics have diversified opportunities in a variety of clinical and research activities, as well as special events and competitive awards.

Goals

  • To provide creative, research and teaching opportunities for students with interest and skills in health humanities or bioethics.
  • To develop student’s knowledge, skills and attitudes about healthcare,  the theories and practices of medicine and the consequences for patients through the study of humanities perspectives and methods.
  • To reinforce the biopsychosocial approach to the patient-centered, humanistic medical practices through the integration of the humanities with the sciences in the curriculum.

How to Apply

In Phase 1, submit a Pathway application by December 16th. Contact Erin Lee with any questions.
