Beyond Medicine

Much of practice of medicine lies beyond medicine. To understand the illness, we need the biological sciences, and to understand the patient with the illness, we need the humanities. Beyond Medicine programme takes us out of our biological enclaves, to explore the world of literature, music, art, history and culture to make us better as persons and better in caring for our patients
