Medical Humanities Workforce Training Program for Physicians
The McGovern Center for Humanities and Ethics is launching a Medical Humanities Workforce Training Program, a 24-month program that can be used for: self-development, reconnection, and renewal; creating medical humanities programming and curricula for your own institution; and networking.
In recent decades, physicians have turned to medical humanities to reconnect with why they pursued medicine in the first place, recovering and discovering creative aspects of themselves through literature, art, history, philosophy, theater, ethics, and more.
The McGovern Center for Humanities and Ethics is launching a Medical Humanities Workforce Training Program, a 24-month program that can be used for:
- self-development, reconnection, and renewal,
- creating medical humanities programming and curricula for your own institution, and
- networking.
The program is cohort-style and primarily virtual, with 2 semester-long courses each year (1 in Fall and 1 in Spring). Physicians will attend live virtual classes once to twice monthly and participate in asynchronous online and self-directed learning. Learners will experience Houston’s culinary and artistic diversity during in-person intensives held over two weekends in the world’s largest medical center!
Upon completion, participants will receive a workforce training program certificate.
