The Program consists of five core initiatives: History of Medicine; Narrative Medicine (oral story-telling film, mass media, and literature); Music; Spirituality; and Visual Arts. Check out our events and each of these areas of interest. We’re glad you dropped by to pay us a visit,  and we hope you will check out the role we play in the life and mission of our medical school.


Summer Studentships Related to/Linked with Humanities

This year there are 6 Summer Studentships designated for medical students (each $5,000) who participate in Dalhousie’s Music-in-Medicine Program.The projects do not have to be focused in the Humanities. It is the student’s involvement in the Humanities (Music-in-Medicine) that affords them this opportunity. [More Information]
