“"Writing about Medicine" is a reading, writing, and discussion group that students developed together in their first year and continued throughout the four years. My interest in developing the course began in my first semester. I saw it as offering a way to integrate the creative style of thinking I had learned studying humanities as an undergraduate into my training to become a doctor. The group served both a professional and a therapeutic function.”

“There are student organizations that run the gamut of cultural, social, and professional interests. If a student identifies a need that isn’t met by existing groups, he or she will receive the support they need to start a new group.”
