Medical Humanities Scholarly Concentration

The Medical Humanities Scholarly Concentration provides medical students the opportunity to learn in depth about medical humanities through a variety of courses and activities within the four-year Integrated Medical Curriculum.

Upon successful completion of track requirements, students will earn the designation of Scholar in Medical Humanities which will be noted on the student's transcript and in the commencement program. A certificate of completion will be issued at the time of graduation along with the student's UTMB diploma. Participation will also be reflected in the student's MSPE ("Dean's letter").
