Humanistic Medicine (HuMED) Co-Curricular Requirements

Art in medicine is explored through relationships, philosophy, psychology, literature, artwork, and music. The HuMed program advocates focusing on the patient as a person rather than just a biological disease that requires treatment. Therefore our activities foster consideration of systems biology and preventive practice. Shadowing alternative medicine practitioners as well as participating in student-led classes/seminars will expose you to aspects of patient care beyond the conventional standards of today.

75 Required Hours to be accomplished within 5 to 12 hours per month from August through April 30th.
