The Center for Humanism, Professionalism, Medical Ethics, and Law at CMSRU is hosting a virtual lecture series for students, faculty, and staff over the next few months called “Rethinking Medicine.”
CMSRU Center for Humanism: “Rethinking Medicine” Lecture Series
Rethinking Medicine includes nine presentations which will cover a wide range of topics, including the history of medicine, the humanities as applied to medicine, and the art of the bedside examination. Renowned clinician-educator Salvatore Mangione, MD, is the presenter for the series, which aims to help the audience rethink ingredients needed to create that unique entity we call a “healer.” Each 90-minute session will include the formal presentation followed by a discussion period.
Throughout his career, Dr. Mangione has been interested in physical diagnosis, medical history, community service, and the role of the humanities in medicine. His innovative programs and engaging teaching style have been recognized by multiple teaching awards, and his work has been featured in New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, BBC, CNN, NPR, and Forbes. Dr. Mangione has been an invited speaker at many national and international meetings, especially in regard to using visual arts to teach bedside observation. He is the author of the book “Secrets in Physical Diagnosis.”
All sessions are from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and can be accessed via WebEx at https://rowan.webex.com/meet/mcgeehan. Please note – the first session is October 12, 2020!
