Pilot
We start our journey by talking to people closest to us, in an environment most familiar to us: school. Join us, as we reflect by talking to key teaching faculty and students about their philosophies. In this series, to make sense, we first pause to figure out the questions to begin exploring,
Season 1
Medical Humanities
The medical humanities is an interdisciplinary field that involves literature, philosophy, but also dance, art to explore illness, which is the experience of disease.
In this series we talk to individuals who tell us not only is developing your interest in the humanities possible in medicine, but also necessary and crucial in shaping the future of medicine.
We talk to leaders of the medical humanities in hospitals, academic research and Medical Education efforts. But also individuals who so called “did” the medical humanities before it was even called the medical humanities in Singapore, doctor-writers, and how their art shapes their clinical practice.
Season 2
Paths
The path of medicine is lifelong. In a changing world, there are corresponding changes in the practice, and people of medicine. In this series we talk to individuals who embody these changes at all levels. At the macro level, institutional or policy changes to adapt, and at the micro level: maintaining connection in the doctor-patient relationship, taking meandering paths to medicine or having qualified, through sheer vision and will forged their own paths, building pathways that we can walk down today.
Season 3
Medical Education
Doctor in Latin comes from the root word Teacher. With three medical schools, teaching is a greater responsibility that we must bear. In this series, we talk to doctor-teachers, familiar names who have taught generations of doctors, about how they started teaching, how teaching has changed, and why they continue to teach.Our doctor-teachers inspire us to push for excellence, even if it is much easier to settle, through their journeys.
Season 4
Environment
If healthcare worldwide were a country - it would be the 5th biggest greenhouse gas emitter. Climate change’s impact on physical health is obvious - but have we considered ways in which healthcare impacts the environment?
Together with Qiyun @theweirdandwild in this series, we talk to individuals from science, architecture, psychology, and community organising to unpack the ways we can begin to see that our responsibilities to our patients are not limited to the immediate, but extend to the planet at large.
