What is Medical Humanities?

At 涩里番下载, Medical Humanities is an interdisciplinary, humanistic, and cultural study of illness, health, health care, and the body. Students choose courses from a range of departments in Arts and Sciences, from the social sciences and the humanities to the natural sciences. Throughout, the minor draws from 涩里番下载鈥檚 commitment to social justice, ethics, and care for the whole person.

Who should minor in Medical Humanities?

Many minors are planning careers in medicine, health care policy or law, psychology, public/global health, social work, patient advocacy, or health journalism. Others, undecided about career path, are interested in learning more about bioethics, the history of health practices, or the ways in which art and literature represent (at times competing) ideas about illness and the body.

In the fall, we accept applications from sophomore and junior students, while in the spring, we accept applications from freshman and sophomore students.
