Course Description:

The Healer's Art 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.

Taking a mostly experiential approach, students are encouraged to identify, strengthen and cultivate the human dimensions of the practice of medicine, recognize the commonality of personal concerns among their peers and faculty, trust the power of listening and the presence to heal others and strengthen and develop a personal commitment to medicine as life's long work.
