A capstone project invites first-year students to step beyond traditional scientific learning and explore medicine through the lens of the humanities and the arts. Over the course of the year, students imagine, design, and create original projects that reflect on themes such as health, illness, caregiving, and the human experience of medicine. Whether through writing, visual art, performance, history, or other humanities-based approaches, each project encourages reflection, empathy, and deeper understanding of what it means to practice medicine. The year culminates in a lively “flash” presentation event, where students share their work with peers and faculty. Many projects go on to inspire submissions to national conferences and journals in the health humanities. This experience helps future physicians develop the creativity, compassion, and insight essential to human-centered medical practice
