Course Overview

Medical humanities have grown as a new field of study over the last decade as those in medical fields recognize the need for doctors, nurses, medical technicians, and others in health-related fields to possess a more sympathetic view of health, illness, suffering, and death to more effectively and empathetically treat patients and clients.  Medical humanities programs are housed in colleges of medicine and liberal arts alike, offering majors, minors, and certificates to meet this need.

As both liberal arts and a Catholic institution, we are well-placed to offer this degree that emphasizes and respects the importance of the human person in matters of health.

The medical humanities program focuses on preparing students mainly for health-related fields but offers a choice of tracks for further specialization:

1. The Pre-Med track prepares students for medical school and provides the minimum science and math courses needed to succeed on the MCAT.  Alternatively, this track prepares students for other graduate medical fields.

2. The Health and Humanities track supports careers and/or graduate work in other fields, such as psychology, social work, public health policy, and education, medical writing, occupational therapies, and other health-related fields. Students who choose this track will have more opportunities for courses in minors that will help to focus their ultimate career goals.
