2023-2024 Applications
Thank you for your interest in the Humanities Pathway! The Pathway programs at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine allow students to take a “deep dive” into areas of interest of their own choosing. Students in the Humanities Pathway often join to stay connected with their past selves, to find a community of like-minded peers, and to develop humanities skills such as seeing through others’ perspectives and developing emotional resources to avoid burnout and facilitate communication with patients.
To apply for the 2023-2024 academic year:
- Complete the Pathway Survey, required for applications to all Pathways.
- Then, submit your materials to the Humanities Pathway by Friday, August 11 at 11:59 p.m.
- The email copy you received of your responses to the Pathway Survey.
- Your curriculum vitae.
- 3 short responses (approximate 750 words in total)
