Next Page Course Description Students are required to complete one eleven-week seminar in the humanities and social sciences during either the fall or spring semester of their second year. Fifteen different seminars are taught by a variety of faculty from the School of Medicine and the College of Arts and Sciences. Each seminar explores a specific topic in social medicine using materials from one or more of the fields of philosophy, ethics, history, literature, law, and the social and policy sciences. The list of offerings is announced during the spring of the preceding academic year and first-year students are required to register then for the seminar they intend to take the following year. Each seminar is limited to no more than twelve students and meets for two hours weekly.
Students prepare both written and oral work for presentation and course evaluation.
