Educational and Faculty Development

Educational and Faculty Development

The HHH is not committed only to student engagement and enrichment. We also have ambitious plans to better integrate the Health Humanities into healthcare education. Therefore, we are proud to also offer initiatives listed below.

Faculty Development Initiatives and Resources

As a champion for the positive impact of the Health Humanities in good healthcare practice and pedagogy, the HHH is supporting and providing faculty development initiatives that facilitate embedding the Health Humanities into NUSMed’s education of medical students and other healthcare professional trainees.

Resources

The HHH might be able to grant you access to paid resources. Please get in touch with us with your interests to learn more.

Workshops and Roundtables for Faculty

  • Cultural humility
  • Creative writing
  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Sandbox Discussions for Students and Staff

At the HHH, we are seeking to innovate in how the health humanities can be translated into educational practices, and how local health needs and practices can be aligned with insights from Singaporean artistic and humanistic endeavours. To this end, the HHH will host roundtable sandbox discussions for staff and students to come together, productively co-creating educational deliverables that the HHH will drive forward. Such topics of interest may include:

1. Localising Health Humanities in and for Singapore: How can we adapt recognised good practices in the health humanities to offer new insights into health care practices, experiences and needs in South-East Asia from the ideas offered by local artists and performers in the arts and humanities?

2. Closing the Curriculum Gap Through Co-Creation: How can we pioneer the design and delivery of novel educational Interventions in the health humanities in ways that are responsive to students’ interests, concerns, and priorities?
