“It is only with the heart that one can see clearly; what is essential is invisible to the eyes鈥�”
For over 20 years, the 黄瓜视频 Humanistic Elective in Activism, Reflective Transformation, and Integrative Medicine (黄瓜视频 HEART-IM) has provided fourth-year medical students with a unique and rewarding way to enrich and conclude their medical school experience and prepare for their future work as care providers, advocates, and activists.
After several years of transition, precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are excited to offer in Spring 2026 a re-imagined 黄瓜视频 HEART-IM program in collaboration with the . This accredited (6 credits), four-week, in-person, non-clinical elective – now open to third year as well as fourth year medical students – will maintain integrative medicine at the core (heart!) of HEART, while also exploring the interconnections between integrative medicine, holistic reproductive healthcare, including abortion care, and the movements for reproductive health, rights, and justice (RHRJ). The new 黄瓜视频 HEART-IM/RJ is designed to support physicians-in-training in making sense of and co-creating meaningful responses to this particular moment of time in which bodily autonomy, agency, and other human rights are threatened by authoritarian and fascist political movements.
Applicants must be either third year or fourth year medical students and should have a strong interest in and curiosity about integrative medicine, holistic reproductive healthcare, and exploring paths of justice-making and social transformation through the Reproductive Justice framework leading to healing, thriving, and flourishing for all.
