APPLICATION GUIDELINES

Faculty course directors must attend the 5-day Faculty Training prior to implementation of the course at their school.

We strongly suggest that two course co-directors attend from each school. Our experience has shown that implementation of the course is more likely when there are two co-directors to support each other during implementation, and further guarantees the continuity of the curriculum.

Both course directors must be physician faculty members in good standing at an accredited medical school.

Prior to attending the course, the course director(s) must obtain verbal support from appropriate department heads, deans, and/or members of a curriculum committee expressing a level of interest in implementing the course at their school.

The course director(s) should have a plan for ongoing fiscal support for the course.

The course director(s) agree(s) to use a nationally standardized evaluation, provided by RISHI, for students and faculty participating in the course and submit an outcome summary of their course evaluations annually.

The course must be taught in its entirety as described in the The Healer’s Art syllabus. The Healer’s Art is an elective course for first and second year medical students. Any other use of the syllabus must be discussed with Evangeline Andarsio, MD, Director of RISHI.

The course director(s) must agree that modules cannot be incorporated into other professional courses, nor can the courses in their entirety be incorporated into other existing curricula without the consent of copyright holder.
