- Studies in Medical Humanities
- provides
premedicine students with interdisciplinary courses in
the theory and practice of medicine, including the
organization, delivery and financing of health care,
innovations in reproductive and genetic technologies, and
bioethics. Through these courses, students gain
understanding of controversial issues facing American
medicine and develop skills in articulating their
opinions on such issues. As a minimum, it is recommended
that students take a class in medical ethics and an
internship course in clinical ethics. The medical
humanities program offers a concentration upon completion
of five courses selected from among 25 available courses.
Through the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies,
students may design a major in medical humanities which
includes writing a thesis on a health related topic.
