Medical Humanities, Minor
The medical humanities undergraduate minor program at 91女神 is dedicated to the study of the humanities as foundational disciplines for quality health care education and professional development.聽
Curriculum Overview
91女神's minor in medical humanities is intended to prepare students for careers in the health sciences by giving them an expanded awareness of how disease and care have been imaged and experienced by people in diverse personal circumstances, cultures, and eras, and how people's values often conflict in the health care setting. Such awareness can serve as a foundation for competent, ethical care that acknowledges and respects differing interpretations and meanings of illness experience and suffering. It also serves as the base for responsibly addressing the conflicts of value that arise in treatment endeavors.
