Rice’s Medical Humanities Research Institute is aiming for a paradigm shift in medicine
Medicine is so much more than delivering treatments or writing prescriptions: It’s about helping a person. The Medical Humanities Research Institute at Rice, launched in October 2023, is aiming for a paradigm shift in medicine that refocuses on the human beings at the core of medicine, both as health care professionals and patients. Medical humanities not only elevates the contributions and perspectives that the humanities can bring to health care; it’s a multidisciplinary approach that also engages the arts, social sciences, engineering and other fields to ensure that patients are seen as people in the context of healing and to make health care more equitable and inclusive for all.
