Creating Space - Call for Proposals

We are seeking proposals which exemplify the excellent multidisciplinary work being done in the area of medical/health humanities in health professional classrooms and clinical sites, humanities classrooms, and artistic venues, and other related sites across Canada. How can we work to shape the future of health professional education in relation to the arts and humanities? What are some innovative models for teaching and learning, and collaboration across the disciplines? What are the theoretical bases for these educational innovations? To what end are these innovations directed? What evaluative frameworks might be developed?
