The CHIME (Critical Humanities & Interdisciplinary Medical Education) initiative unites a coalition of graduate students dedicated to raising critical consciousness in medical education. Through a series of forums about foundational medical humanities literature and workshops producing concrete interventions for medical training, CHIME promotes a unique and necessary interdisciplinary perspective. Ultimately, CHIME projects its critical voice to excite a more just and humanistic vision of health and care.
