I came into UNE as a Pre-Physician Assistant (PA) major, 但我不确定自己到底想做什么. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do PA, become a physician, or do premed. One of the things that drew me to UNE was the medical school and the health professions programs in general.

During my first year, I took a course with Eric Zuelow [Ph.D.] who created the HUMED program [UNE’s pathway to medical school for humanities students]. He pulled me aside one day and asked me if I would be interested in HUMED because he thought I was a strong writer and knew I was already on a premed track.

In high school, I was in a program where we studied the humanities. I took Latin and looked at Greek mythology, so I have a strong background in the humanities. I always thought that if I wanted to become a doctor, I had to do science for my undergraduate career, 而是HUMED项目, 突然间，一切似乎都走到了一起. 我意识到还有另一种选择. I am able to pursue my passion in the humanities but still stay on track for the career that I want.

UNE offers unique access to clinicals and interprofessional events as part of the medical school. Also, I am forming connections in the humanities since I am in the HUMED program. By being in this program, I am also establishing a really good support system.

一个灵感

During my freshmen year, I had a back injury that they could not diagnose. I got sent to the OMM clinic, which is the medical school clinic at UNE. The student who worked with me knew that I was interested in becoming a physician, 所以她一边走一边向我解释一切. She could feel the exact spot where I had my fracture, she could tell which disc was bulging and not bouncing back. 然后我做了核磁共振，她是对的. I remember thinking right then that I wanted to be a D.O. Having that personal experience sparked my interest. 这非常鼓舞人心.

I think that the HUMED program will make me a more well-rounded person. Having a background in the humanities will allow me to connect to my patients in a more human way. I want to treat my patients as human beings and be able to relate to their struggles.

人文学科的跨学科研究, 整骨疗法的医学 (D.O.)

研究 increasingly shows that humanistic study enables development of the wisdom, 同理心, 沟通, and other skills required of practicing physicians. 为了获得这些好处, 休谟 students graduate having completed a senior thesis along with major requirements in 英语, 历史, or 人文学科的跨学科研究. Additional curricular requirements provide structured opportunities to engage with UNE’s Center to Advance Interprofessional Education and Practice (CAIEP, formerly the Center for Excellence in Collaborative Education) in order to gain familiarity with the team-based and patient-centered approaches that are at the leading edge of health care today.

Completing required coursework in the sciences at UNE allows students to become familiar with a faculty and campus rich in osteopathic heritage, 轻松过渡到专业学习. 学生 also benefit from the small class sizes of a humanities faculty with expertise in areas such as bioethics, 病史, and graphic medicine that highlight the necessary interconnections between the humanities and medical science.

休谟 is an enrichment program that offers curricular flexibility — not an accelerated program. 它使学生能够集中时间, 能源, and attention on aspects of the human condition not achievable via a traditional pre-med track.
