Humanities Seminar Selective 2 Credits/Maximum of 2

Catalog description

Humanities Seminars are capstone courses for the Health Humanities Pillar in medical education, required during Phase 3. These courses are grounded in humanities, social science, or arts-based content and/or methods. Humanities Seminars integrate humanities scholarship with the practice of medicine to provide a context for students to deepen and extend their knowledge, reflect on professional identity development, engage in critical thinking, and integrate cognitive and affective responses to course materials. While all Humanities Seminars will be offered within this broad framework, specific topics and methods will vary depending on the expertise of the instructor. All courses embrace a common set of learning objectives and courses may include additional learning objectives as deemed appropriate by course instructors.
