Cheryl L. McLean, Publisher of The International Journal of The Creative Arts in Interdisciplinary Practice, IJCAIP has been
invited to facilitate an upcoming seminar in March for The American Medical Student Association, Medical Humanities Scholars’ Program. The program draws together physicians,
humanists, scholars and others to lead student sessions and open up discussion
around the practice of medicine and integration of science and humanities and
to explore how the humanities enrich and
lend perspective to the medical field.
The American Medical Student Association (AMSA) founded in 1950, is based in Washington and is the largest
independent association of physicians in training in the United States. Uniquely student governed, AMSA has a membership of 68,000 from across The United
States. Among the key goals of the AMSA
are to advocate for quality and affordable health care for all, equality in
global health and enriching medicine through diversity.
The
theme for this year’s AMSA, Medical
Humanities Scholars program is “Perceptions
of Physicians in Literature and the Arts”.
Ms. McLean will lead a session around the growing diversity and vitality
of the creative arts in medicine, education research and practice. This webinar will also be available for access at the IJCAIP Journal website at http://www.ijcaip.com. She is editor of the upcoming book, “Creative
Arts in Humane Medicine” to be published by Brush Education for release in
2013.
