Dear colleagues,
The Center for Humanism is offering a thought-provoking series of 9 lectures by a master lecturer and very wise clinician, Dr. Salvatore Mangione. I can personally attest to his excellent talks and he has received standing ovations at national ACP meetings, among others.
The series is called Rethinking Medicine and includes the history of medicine, the humanities as applied to medicine, and the art of the bedside examination. All are aimed at helping the audience rethink the ingredients needed to create that unique entity we call a “healer”. Each session will be 90 minutes long, including the formal presentation followed by a discussion period. All sessions will be delivered by Dr. Mangione and are scheduled between 6:00 PM and 7:30 PM and are online using WebEx. The link is: https://rowan.webex.com/meet/mcgeehan
