Narrative Medicine and Medical Humanities Longitudinal Elective, University of Florida

This course offers the opportunity to pursue longitudinally the medical humanities, your personal reflective process, ways to address stress, and develop a deeper understanding of the physician-patient relationship and the experience of illness. You also will have the chance to explore your thinking about significant issues in medicine and to discuss these issues in a safe environment. You also will have the opportunity to explore scholarship in the health humanities, and how the field is developing and opportunities for ways in which you could (if interested) participate in scholarship in the field. This course forms part of the Medical Humanities Track of the MD Program at the University of Florida.
