Quote of the week
"Arts& Humanities at Harvard Medical School
aims to promote the role of the humanities in medical education,
clinical care and research. A recent survey of the Harvard Medical School Community
assessed the level of interest in the role of art, literature, music and
theatre in medical education and patient care.
After obtaining IRB approval, the survey was sent out to 13,512
faculty, trainees and students. Preliminary student responses were
presented at the Harvard Academy Medical Education Day and showed that
72 percent of students who responded participate in the arts and 69
percent would support a formal program to integrate the arts into the
medical school curriculum."
