Digital Transform MedEd
Everything except the medicine: A Medical Student’s Autoethnography on Medical Humanities and Clinical Placement Held on: Wednesday 27th October 2021 Led by: John Humm; final-year medical student at Hull-York Medical School and alumnus of Imperial's Humanities, Philosophy and Law intercalated BSc. |

After a transformative year out studying medical humanities, John Humm returned to clinical placement in late 2020. Short reflective pieces written during this time illustrate ethical tensions the speaker experienced upon his return to the wards. These formed the basis of his meta-reflective, autoethnographic research written over the summer one year later.
In this 90-minute Digital Transform MedEd online event, John showed the practical value of medical humanities from the medical student perspective, as well as the disconnect between the ideals of medical humanities in the seminar room and the reality of everyday clinical experience.
