Graduates & Research
Each year, our fourth-year students complete artistic and research projects exploring a topic of their choosing related to medical humanities and ethics. Recent graduates’ research projects are listed below.
We encourage our students to consider publishing their work and research. Medical humanities students have published reflections written during third-year journals, collaborated on essays and research papers with faculty, and submitted opinion pieces to various publications. Those interested in publishing may consider some of these medical student publication venues.
