| Goals & Objectives |
| The Art of Healing addresses a hidden crisis in medicine, the growing loss of meaning and commitment experienced by physicians nationwide under the stresses of today's health care system. The Art of Healing Course reminds us of our calling and strengthens in us the capacity to find what has meaning in our lives and in our work. Becoming a healer requires more of us than just the acquisition of technical knowledge and skills. The course helps first year students to remember that who they are is as important to as what they know, and that medicine is a work of the heart and the soul as well as the intellect. A series of ‘survival skills’ is also taught within this Preceptorship as an adjunct to this national Art of Healing course. |
| Description of course
activities |
| Class will meet once or twice weekly in the evenings for 3 hours, and one morning for 2-3 hours. The five evening classes will usually start with a large group activity, usually a short didactic session followed by an experiential activity. Students will then join their small group to further explore the topic. Please see our brochure for a list of topics. The four weekday classes will expose students to an array of survival skills that can help one maintain perspective and balance in the midst of medical training. |
