The Health and Medical Humanities are a broad interdisciplinary field that examine the inter-relationships between medicine, health, society, and culture across a range of times and places. How human societies in the past and present construct and engage with health, wellness, illness, medicine, healing, and the body form the focus of the certificate, drawing from knowledge of social, cultural, and human perspectives on these topics.
For those working in the health professions, it provides the opportunity to frame their professional contexts within the theoretical and applied considerations of the health and medical humanities.
Students in the humanities (English, History, Philosophy, Classics, Religious Studies, etc.), social sciences, pre-medicine, nursing, creative arts, the natural and health sciences, and wherever considerations of health intersect disciplinary study and practice would be benefit from this program. In other words, if it interests you, try it out!
