The Stanford Medical Humanities Reading Seminar is a student-initiated class, bringing together students of various disciplines to discuss one book per quarter. Students will engage in a reading schedule throughout the quarter and meet once per week to discuss chapters of the book The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down by Anne Fadiman (Autumn 2026). This is a great opportunity to explore the Medical Humanities outside the classroom, engage with peers in diverse fields, and explore the many perspectives and stories surrounding medicine, illness, and healing.
