To set up a program that will offer courses on the humanities to medical students, and initiate an active center for humanistic studies to be set up within the medical center. Through seminars on the philosophical analysis of the concept of person, and ethical theory and its implications for the resolution of moral dilemmas in medicine, the outside world will be brought into the world of the medical profession.
