This is an elective program through which Alpert medical students may pursue a course of study beyond the scope of their conventional curriculum. Students who participate in a Scholarly Concentration undertake rigorous independent scholarship in a cross-disciplinary field of interest related to medicine, public health, engineering, or a biomedically relevant topic in the sciences, arts, or humanities.

The Medical Humanities and Ethics Scholarly Concentration encourages students to draw from broad, interdisciplinary approaches and resources to examine the field of medicine and the countless dilemmas which arise within it.
