The Indiana University School of Medicine Wellness Coalition's theme for the month of July is intellectual wellness. To honor this theme, the coalition has organized a statewide book club to engage and connect students through reading.
Students across the state have been provided with copies of "The Housemaid" by Freida McFadden — a gripping psychological thriller written by a practicing physician who specializes in brain injuries. At the end of the month, participants will have the opportunity to join a statewide discussion with fellow readers.
Engaging with this novel not only offers a mental break from clinical demands but also stimulates critical thinking, reflection and empathy — key components of intellectual wellness.
