The program offers elective courses in literature and writing. The program also coordinates extracurricular activities for medical students involving literature, music, and the visual and performing arts. We are also proud to offer students the chance to explore the connections between the humanities and medicine through the Humanities Distinction Track.
Located in 1193 MERF, the Writing and Humanities Program houses a coffee station for students, a studio for The Short Coat Podcast, and space available for quiet studying. The space also provides support for Vital Signs, and the Medical Student Humanities Interest Group.
