Dimensions: The Center for the Science and Culture of Healthcare The activities and support from Dimensions allows students to integrate their studies in the liberal arts with their interests in health and health-related careers. While at Cornell, students come to understand the importance of empathy and communication, of discipline and creativity, and of individual initiative and teamwork associated with any successful healthcare career.
Dimensions supports a wide range of opportunities in and beyond the classroom, including interdisciplinary courses, research opportunities, internships at leading institutions, workshops and seminars, assistance with MCAT and graduate school preparation, and more. The program is supported by a full-time Associate Director and a faculty director.
