Researchers developed and launched a pilot project called the Penn State Hershey Physician Writers Group. Physician participants reported satisfaction with the experience. As a result of the pilot program’s success, the researchers developed and conducted eight mini-courses on different topics from 2010 to 2011. The overarching goal of the series was to provide humanities-related, clinically relevant learning opportunities for healthcare practitioners.
Post-course surveys revealed a high degree of satisfaction with learning new disciplines outside of biomedicine, using their training in uncustomary ways, forming new camaraderie with their colleagues and enjoying a respite from the stressful flow of the workday.
