Healthcare & the Humanities - a series for the entire Nemours community
The humanities assist us in understanding and relating to people, which is an important factor in building and maintaining relationships, and in turn helps provide effective health care. Improving medical professionals’ ability to understand and relate to patients is one of the primary issues the interdisciplinary field of the medical humanities attempts to address.
The events listed below are intended to encourage introspection, provide perspective, and facilitate discussion between associates.
