Health Humanities, Minor
|
|
This minor focuses on the Health Humanities, an interdisciplinary field that applies humanistic perspectives to health and healthcare. This minor is meant for those interested either in pursuing a career in a health-related field or in becoming more informed about how the humanities can impact the health field, for use in their personal lives as advocates for family members or themselves. This minor provides students with the tools to analyze healthcare situations and advocate for a multifaceted approach to understanding the patient and health provider relationship. Courses critically examine various aspects of health, from provider education to narratives of illness to issues like equity, gender, and bioethics. Additionally, an optional internship working with a health-related service will enhance the student’s experiential knowledge.
