Welcome to the 2021 Senior Legacy Symposium!
My minor in medical humanities has allowed me to explore a wide variety of medical diagnoses that I have previously learned about science courses from the lens of a humanities discussion. Zooming in on one of these diagnoses, my senior capstone for medical humanities consists of a systematic review encompassing the impact of peer influence on developing and maintaining symptoms of bulimia nervous, supplemented by two creative writing essays written from the perspective of an individual experiencing bulimia nervous along with from the perspective of a peer and friend of this individual. My essays were both written using creative writing tactics discussed in my various medical humanities courses in addition to the knowledge I have obtained in completing this systematic review.
