About the Program
We are excited to introduce the new Humanities Expressions and Arts Lab (HEAL) in the Office of the Senior Dean at Baylor College of Medicine School of Medicine. This new lab serves as the hub for arts and humanities education at Baylor College of Medicine.
HEAL aims to equip members of the BCM community - medical students, residents, post-docs, allied health students, faculty - with the intellectual tools to recognize the meaning behind their daily practice of medicine.
