Medical Humanities Workforce Training Program for Physicians
Application Deadline is May 15, 2026
Medical humanities explores contexts, experiences, and critical and conceptual issues in medicine and health care. In recent decades, physicians have been turning to medical humanities to reconnect with the reasons they pursued medicine in the first place, recovering and discovering creative aspects of themselves through literature, art, history, philosophy, theater, ethics, and more.
All physicians are welcome in this 24-month certificate program. Upon completion, you will receive a Medical Humanities Workforce Training Program Certificate. The program is cohort-style and primarily virtual, with 2 semester-long courses each year (1 in Fall and 1 in Spring). Physicians will attend live virtual classes once to twice monthly, plus participate in asynchronous online and self-directed learning. Learners will experience Houston’s cultural and artistic diversity during in-person intensives held over two weekends in the world’s largest medical center.
Applications for our upcoming cohort are due by May 15th, 2026.
