Medicine & Cinema, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center

Within the history of cinema there is a rich strain of films that have explored the deepest places and questions of medicine. It is our intent to introduce students to this tradition for the betterment of their future medical practice. Note that this course is enrichment only; i.e. it cannot be taken for credit. 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.
