Bernice L. Hausman, English and Humanities, Virginia Tech, presents "Undergraduate Curricula in Medical Humanities: Exigences, Strategies, Challenges."
This talk concerns medical humanities curricula in undergraduate education, stressing the initial exigence for setting up such curricula, strategies for getting students interested and enrolling them in the program, and challenges to programmatic relevancy. I call on my eight years of experience directing the Medicine and Society program at Virginia Tech, as well as three years of teaching medical humanities at a medical school, in order to discuss how best to implement humanities learning for premedical and pre health care students pursuing their bachelors’ degrees.
