INDE 273: Medical Improvisation

Medicine, like theater, is both a skill set and an art form. The practice of medicine demands exceptional communicative, cognitive, and interpersonal skills in order to respond to unpredictable situations while interacting with a wide variety of individuals. Improvisational theater skills have a surprising and substantial overlap with those required of clinicians. Improv is a genre of performance art grounded in principles of spontaneity, adaptability, collaboration, and skilled listening. In this course, the principles and training techniques of improvisational theater are used to highlight and improve awareness, communication, and teamwork in the field of medicine. Limited enrollment. Class meets on six consecutive Mondays 10/2, 10/9, 10/16, 10/23, 10/30, and 11/6 from 5:30-7:30 pm.

This patient-engaged course for pre-clerkship students places patients, families, and caregivers front and center on the shared journey to explore health from a person-centered perspective and increase understanding of the challenges of managing optimal health in a complex healthcare system. The curriculum is organized around a monthly workshop series. Each month we explore a different health systems science topic through expert lectures incorporating the perspectives of patients and family caregivers, with time to engage in discussion and explore person-centered solutions to real-world problems. Students are paired with a patient partner for 3 quarters and meet 2 to 3 times each quarter outside of class to explore the patient experience, in clinical and non-clinical settings according to shared interests and schedules. This course fulfills the ECE requirement for first-year medical students.

LAWGEN 112N: Law and Inequality

Most Americans know that discrimination on the basis of race, sex, and religion is unlawful. Seems simple enough. But advertisements in the back of newspapers still announce: "Single White Female Seeks Single White Male?" Isn't that discrimination on the basis of race and sex? Most businesses don't consider men for women's locker room or bathroom attendant. And why aren't those men and women's bathrooms and locker rooms illegal segregation? After all we know what would happened if some business set up separate bathrooms for blacks and whites. Isn't it discrimination for an employer to insist that men wear a jacket and tie and women wear nylons and a skirt? Why are some forms of discrimination unlawful and others not? Why is discrimination against short people, overweight people, or people with annoying personalities not against the law? We will answer these and many other questions by looking at court cases, legal theory, and philosophy. We may also have conversations with guest lectur more »

We will answer these and many other questions by looking at court cases, legal theory, and philosophy. We may also have conversations with guest lecturers who work in civil rights enforcement, and the seminar may include a field trip to visit the offices of civil rights lawyers (lawyers tend to be busy people so these opportunities will depend on their schedules). Class participation and a short final paper are required, but here are no prerequisites other than an open mind and a willingness to delve into unfamiliar material.
