IDE 45030 - Heartstrings: Humanism & Reflection in Medicine
Cr Hrs: 3 Session Length: 2 weeks
PD
This is a face to face elective receiving 3 credit hours. In this course, students will reflect - the conscious weighing and integrating of views from different perspectives - on their experiences in medicine with an emphasis on humanism in medicine - patient-centered care through open communication, mutual respect, and emotional connection between physicians and their patients. Students will meet each day for 2 hours of evidence-based reflection exercises and will continue to work on the reflection after the small group. Some activities will include reflective writing and discussion from posed questions; literature searches and readings; discussions; and a presentation of created works on the last Friday of the two-weeks or four-weeks. Through these exercises, students will improve patient care by enhancing the doctor-patient relationship, improve patient-centered care, revive a sense of compassion and humanism, recognize disparities in health, view pain culturally, increase critical thinking skills, have the opportunity to self-reflect, build communication skills, improve professionalism, and recognize characteristics of effective medical teams. Please note the course needs a minimum of 2 students scheduled.
