Medical Humanities Interest Group

Medical Humanities Interest Group

In 2014, a group of MS1s decided to start the Keck Medical Humanities Student Interest Group (MHIG) in order to help grow and explore the interests we had outside of medicine.

MHIG is focused on building a community for KSOM students interested in the medical humanities. We represent the medical humanities in a broad sense, welcoming students who want to explore how medicine relates to literature, ethics, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, and the arts. Our goal is to provide students with the resources needed to continue their artistic endeavors through medical school and to enhance their medical education with an interdisciplinary study of the human condition.

To learn more, visit us at our website or email us at keckmhig@gmail.com.

Additionally, you can check out Déjà Senti: the [un]official Humanities blog which features photography, art, poetry, and music by students.
