Medical Humanities II: Ethics, Communication, Leadership, & Wellbeing

Catalog description

The goal of this course is to provide the knowledge, skills and expertise necessary to promote Master’s in Medical Physiology (MMP) student personal and professional identities formed by character and caring and the autonomous practice of human flourishing. This course is largely consistent with the second 18 weeks of The Good Doctor course in the MCWfusion curriculum (INTE 12103), but with some content and assessments adapted for MMP students. This course includes competencies pertaining to character and professional development, ethics, wellbeing, health equity, communication, and interprofessional practice. This course is predominantly for content requiring a degree of psychological safety. This course will be operationalized both through learning communities as well as through large group and small group lecture and asynchronous learning activities. MMP students will be assessed through participation, reflective writing, and individualized learning plans.
