And that Medicine is both an art and a science?

This is a Free, Online course in which we will introduce important topics relating to Literature and Medicine, Philosophy and Medicine, History and Medicine and much more.

The lecturers come from such Universities as Johns Hopkins (USA), McGill (Canada), Glasgow (Scotland), Helsinki (Finland), Queen’s Belfast (Northern Ireland) and more.
Take a chance of working in an intercultural setting with international lecturers and students!
The course will be twice a month on Saturdays, starting on 1st December 2018 and ending at the beginning of June 2019. In April, participating students will be able to attend and contribute to the 2nd The Doctor as a Humanist Symposium at Sechenov University in Moscow.
