The Healer’s Art Student Reader Guidelines
We have put together a Student Reader of articles selected from the medical literature and the public literature, which has proved useful in deepening the learning of the course for students. This Reader is revised every several years according to the input of many students and physicians who share articles and readings that have meaning and value to them.
We are including a list of the articles so that you may create a Reader for the students at your institution should you wish.
On the following pages RISHI is providing you with our list of chosen articles and books. In the past, RISHI worked through a Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) however, now you will find that the majority of the articles are available via “open access”. These articles can be found doing an internet search.
Any articles that are not available through “open access” usually require a subscription to the journal in which the article was published. Many schools would have access to those articles through your University or College Library website. In those cases, “subscription to publication is needed for access” is noted at the end of any applicable article in the Healer’s Art Student Reader.
RISHI does not sell printed and bound copies of the student Reader.
Should you decide to create a Reader for your students, we ask that you reference the Remen Institute for the Study of Health and Illness on the cover or opening page. One medical school, for example, used the following attribution on the cover of its Healer’s Art Reader:
This course and this reader have been adapted with permission from The Remen Institute for the
Study of Health and Illness at Wright State University School of Medicine. The Healer’s Art, developed by Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., Founding Director of The Remen Institute for the Study of Health and Illness, has been offered through the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the UCSF School of Medicine annually since 1993.
Should you find useful articles to add to the reader at your school, please let us know so that we can add them to our reader and share them with other medical schools that are implementing The Healer’s Art.
