Description: This highly individualized course focuses on developing students' abilities through interaction and active participation in a health project research developed with a community partner in an organization in Pamplona, Spain. Partners may vary by semester. Possible partners include ASPACE, Paris 365, Red Cross, Food Bank of Pamploma, and others. Students learn about these organizations, work with them, and develop an exploratory project in medical humanities that they will present to the public in a workshop, flier, web-based presentation, or other format. This course is part of the Rice in Country program and is not eligible for audit. MDHM Minors: If you have completed MDHM 201 and at least 9 hours in a humanities discipline or medical humanities electives, this course will fulfill the practicum requirement. Otherwise, it may count as one of the four electives, provided you meet the GA requirements. Recommended Prerequisite(s): An approved MDHM elective.
