The HEAL program is an integrating feature across all four years of the KSOM curriculum and prepares students to care for patients as complete human beings, not as injuries or illnesses: HEAL offers over 200 hours of curricular content, and builds skills in perspective-taking, critical reflection, and ethical decision-making. It progresses from the personal to the professional, beginning with students’ examination of their own values and person ethics, and moves toward the critical examination of the physician’s role in society.
HEAL content and skills are delivered in required pre-clinical and clinical coursework, as well as in a rich array of co-curricular elements including creative writing workshops, art and medicine events, free piano lessons, concerts, and lectures by scholars from the humanities and social sciences. The HEAL Program trains compassionate future physicians while providing them with opportunities that nurture and support their overall wellbeing.
