The Medical Humanities Minor is open to all undergraduates interested in the intersections of health and society, and particularly for those interested in pursuing careers in health professions.

You’ll focus on the complexity of illness, health and healing. Gain an understanding of the social construction of race, ethnicity, sexuality, and gender. Investigate the embodiment of social inequality while gaining a respect for cultural diversity.
