- Class Description:
- This course is designed for students preparing for careers in health care; it explores the interrelationships between Humanism, Communication and Empathy. A focus is on how humanism models the art of medicine and when in history, humanism recedes. Many believe that we are about to lose humanistic medicine as technology eclipses practitioner-patient relationships. This course offers interdisciplinary perspectives by having experts from a variety of disciplines approach communication and value-centered health care from their areas of expertise. Students will analyze and evaluate passages from social sciences and humanities. The course material matches the change in focus of MCAT 2015, the Medical College Admission Test.
