Harvard is now offering a Master of Science in Media, Medicine, and Health!
The new nine-month program is part of the Harvard Medical School and is designed for those interested in using multidisciplinary storytelling to create medical interventions.
The program is led by faculty directors Dr. @Neal Baer, MD (writer and producer of ER, Law & Order SVU, and Designated Survivor, and executive producer of Peabody Award-winning Welcome to Chechnya) and Dr. Jason Silverstein, PhD (science journalist and writer-in-residence in the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School).
Faculty offering instruction in the program include MacArthur “genius†grant and Pulitzer Prize winners, memoirists, essay writers, playwrights, and social media experts.
This is a great first step towards creating media as medicine educational curriculum and further defining immersive medicine as a medical field of study. Applications are due March 13th.
Now let’s see if they will add video game design into the mix…
