Medical Humanites and Health Studies
The PhD Minor in Medical Humanities and Health Studies offers an interdisciplinary course of study drawn from the social science and humanities disciplines of liberal arts, as well as courses and participation of faculty from other schools. The field of Medical Humanities and Health Studies provides students with the qualitative humanistic and socio-cultural perspectives on medicine and health care, in contrast to the clinical/objective approach traditionally taken in biomedicine.
