Medical Humanities and Human Values, University of South Florida

Students may arrange for independent study on topics relevant to human values in medicine. The faculty member who will supervise the study must approve a plan for such study. The plan will indicate the objectives of the study, the activities to be undertaken in pursuit of the objectives, and the means of evaluating the study. Relevant topics include religion in medicine, medical ethics, legal aspects of medical ethics, clinical ethics research, communication in medicine, medicine and literature, the history and/or philosophy of science, medicine and social problems, creative writing, the impact of culture on medicine and health, and cross culture experience. This information has been collected for the Post-Discipline Online Syllabus Database. The database explores the use of literature by schools of professional education in North America. It forms part of a larger project titled Post-Discipline: Literature, Professionalism, and the Crisis of the Humanities, led by Dr Merve Emre with the assistance of Dr Hayley G. Toth. You can find more information about the project at https://postdiscipline.english.ox.ac.uk/. Data was collected and accurate in 2021/22.
