Below is Constellations’ webinar on writing humanities research papers created for students interested in fulfilling the intensive writing expectation of the UW School of Medicine. All Constellations classes are designed to help students meet these requirements.
Increasingly premedical requirements for Medical Schools across the country—including the University of Wisconsin’s Medical School—include the humanities. The UW School of Medicine requires that students applying to the MD program demonstrate strong written communication skills by taking a writing-intensive course in the humanities or social sciences.
This video was created by our talented Mellon-Morgridge Fellows in the Humanities. Each year our program provides funding for exceptional humanities graduate students to pursue their research, support our Mellon-Morgridge Humanities Professors in their work, and develop our program.
