New class at UCI: Medical Uncertainty

U-Teach Program

Taught by CHP student, Shamik Mukherji, fourth year Bio Sci major!

 

This is a one unit seminar meant for freshman, but anyone can take it!

 

Its about the way medicine pervades our lives and how we react to the more uncertain elements of the study, practice, and science of medicine. The class will delve into matters pertaining to scientific fallibility, the history of medicine, how medicine is changing today, and how doctors deal with the vast complexity inherent to the practice. We’ll be touching upon many topics, including healthcare, big pharma, HMOs, the works. If you’re interested in medicine and would like to see the field in a new way, join up!
