In this course, we will explore writing produced by and about doctors, nurses, and patients in light of urgent issues in healthcare, ranging from discrimination in patient care, to medical professionals and burnout, to women's healthcare and maternal mortality, to the rise of AI and what that can mean in terms of patient agency and advocacy. One of the main objectives is engaging the writing process to develop assignments through discussion, drafting and revision. To that end, written assignments will target both academic and public audiences, including discussion/reading responses supporting the development of a research paper, as well as opinion (or blog) pieces incorporating visual and/or digital infographics and multimedia. Students majoring or intending to major in nursing or pre-medicine, for example, are welcome and encouraged (but not required) to research and write about topics of clinical interest, and incorporate relevant personal or clinical narrative experience. 4 credits.
