“Science may provide the most useful way to organize empirical, reproducible data, but its power to do so is predicated on its inability to grasp the most central aspects of human life: hope, fear, love, hate, beauty, envy, honor, weakness, striving, suffering, virtue.” — Paul Kalanithi.

Welcome.

Real life is messy, people are complicated and very little in health is black and white. Through medical ethics and humanities we aim to promote and develop an appreciation of what it is to be human for the doctor and patient as they traverse suffering and healing together. Explore, share and join us in cultivating reflective healthcare professionals and an inclusive, compassionate community.
