Barts and the London

spirituality and medicine:
curriculum development project
 

Welcome

 

The Barts and the London spirituality and medicine curriculum development project exists to emphasise the importance of caring for patients' spiritual needs in medical practice, and to encourage medical schools to teach this to medical students. We hope it will be useful to anyone involved in designing curricula for medical schools.

 

» What is spirituality?

» Are there medical schools already teaching this subject?

» Where can spirituality fit into busy medical school curricula?

» What are the basic learning outcomes in spirituality that students should cover?

» Where can I read literature on the subject?

 

 

This project, to develop a website encouraging debate about the inclusion of spirituality in medical curricula, was funded by the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at Barts and the London. It arose from an undergraduate project carried out by David Randall, supervised by Professor Goulding.

Researcher: David Randall, junior doctor, Homerton University Hospital

Academic lead: Reverend Professor Nicolas Goulding, Professor of Pharmacology and Medical Education at Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, and Anglican chaplain to the medical school.
