In 2000, the University of Oklahoma Honors College and the College of Medicine created a partnership to further the study of humanities in relation to medicine. Today, at the Honors College there are two programs for students interested in pursuing study in the medical humanities: the Medical Humanities  Scholars Program (MHSP) and the Medical Humanities Minor. MHSP students can take advantage of the revised curriculum at the College of Medicine, including electives such as "history of medicine," "literature and medicine," "photography and medicine" and "medicine and spirituality," for second-year students. Likewise, students not in the MHSP who have chosen to complete an MH minor have taken advantage of the Medical Humanities Minor, focusing their studies on topics such as the politics of AIDS vaccine development, the bioethics of cross-cultural medical practice, music therapy, and the history of sports medicine.

This oral history project engages current and former MH Scholars and faculty to examine the impact of this program on their educations, lives, and careers. This project is in its very early conceptual stages. To participate as a narrator or interviewer, please click the "Participate" button at the left.
