Medical Humanism

The Master Scholars in Medical Humanism Program (MSMHP) is a component of the Office of Student Affairs developed to complement the culture of medical education by encouraging students to explore intellectual and artistic interests not necessarily covered in the core curriculum. Through innovative seminars, colloquia, and events moderated by expert facilitators, students are encouraged to pursue their interests outside of the classroom to better prepare them for their practice and inevitably make a meaningful difference in the individual lives of patients.

The MSMHP invites students to develop new opportunities to promote conversations in medicine and humanities; past events have included lectures with nationally recognized faculty, writers and artists, film screenings, visits to off-site museums, concerts and performance arts, and collaborations with other NYU programs.

To read more about the MSPMH’s efforts to encourage students to share their artistic interests and talents, please see The Office of Student Affairs’ literature and arts magazine, Agora.
