Program in Liberal Medical Education

Whole Patient

Whole Patient

This program emphasizes the significance of the doctor-patient relationship and attempts to demonstrate to students the importance of promoting patient health as opposed to treating patient disease. The program, recognizing the limited medical knowledge of first-year undergraduate students, does not attempt to address topics from a clinical perspective. Rather, it stresses the role of empathic understanding in the practice of medicine, hopefully establishing precedent for students' future clinical practice.
