Description: This practicum course is conducted in partnership with health institutions in Houston. Qualified and advanced students may propose summer projects in conjunction with a health organization. Students may continue research work that they began for a medical humanities practicum, pursue a new research project under the mentorship of a health professional or a professional who works in a health-related organization, or develop a research project that adds a medical humanities perspective to a health-related opportunity. Students meet regularly with Rice faculty to discuss research and develop skills for careers after graduation and work an average of 6-8 hours per week with health or health-related professionals. Students complete reflective assignments, prepare a presentation, and develop a public-facing research project. Must have completed MDHM 201 and at least 9 credit hours in a humanities discipline for course eligibility. Instructor Permission Required. Repeatable for Credit.
