The H-art of Medicine, Western University of Health Sciences

The H-art of Medicine Longitudinal Track explores the arts as a tool for healing both for restoration of self-well-being, and as potential tools future practitioners can use to help their patients achieve better health by focusing on the whole person of body, soul, and spirit. Additionally, track participants will explore other topics in the medical humanities such as ethics, philosophy, religion/spirituality, and history toward the goal of creating a more humanistic practitioner. (Track currently available only on the COMP campus) This course is an optional Longitudinal-Experiential Program. 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.
