Medical Humanities Program
- How do I know which courses will be offered each quarter for the Medical Humanities minor?
- Before Pass 1 registration begins for the upcoming term, a list of required and elective courses for the Medical Humanities minor being offered that quarter will be posted under the “Courses” tab on the Medical Humanities program website.
- What are the requirements for the Medical Humanities minor?
- The requirements for the Medical Humanities minor can be viewed on the Medical Humanities program website here or in the General Catalog.
- How do I declare Medical Humanities as my minor?
- You can declare Medical Humanities as your minor by completing the “Change of Program Petition” form under the “Forms and Petitions” tab in OASIS.
- Can I take courses for my Medical Humanities minor P/NP?
- Courses used for the Medical Humanities minor can be taken P/NP. Not all courses for the minor can be taken P/NP because you need a minimum 2.00 GPA in all of the classes used for the minor. You should also check your college and major requirements to make sure they have no restrictions on taking courses P/NP.
- Can I overlap any courses between my major and the Medical Humanities minor?
- You may overlap a maximum of 1 course between your major and the HMR minor. For example, a student could use SOC 162 toward both their SOC major and Medical Humanities minor, but then no other overlapping courses would be allowed between that major and the minor.
- How do I know if I have completed all the coursework required for my Medical Humanities minor?
- The Undergraduate Program Advisor/Coordinator for the Medical Humanities program can complete an official Degree Check for your minor requirements. Please email them at [email protected] or schedule an appointment. You can also complete an unofficial check online using the Degree Worksheets tool on OASIS. The degree worksheets should not replace seeking verification from the Medical Humanities Undergraduate Program Advisor/Coordinator. Check in about the completion of major requirements early and often.
Study Abroad
- I am interested in studying abroad. What do I need to do?
UC Davis offers several opportunities for undergraduate students to study abroad. These programs vary in length from a summer abroad, a quarter abroad, a full year abroad, and summer internships (both abroad and virtual). Check out the Global Learning Hub study abroad programs for more details. You can also make an appointment with a study abroad advisor to explore programs of interest in-depth and figure out which is the best option for you!
During your planning phase, be sure to check in with your Academic Advisor to discuss your planned courses and whether any be used toward your Medical Humanities minor.
- How can I pay for studying abroad?
- The advisors in the Global Learning Hub are a great resource for exploring ways to fund your study abroad opportunity. Browse their Scholarships and Funding page and make an appointment for financial aid advising through their website for additional support.
Opportunities & Post-Grad
- How can I find internship or employment opportunities?
The Career Center should be your first resource on campus for support in finding internship or employment opportunities. Sign up for a newsletter on their website to receive updates about job listings, upcoming career fairs, and recruitment fairs. Create a Handshake account to browse and apply for on- and off-campus opportunities and register for Career Center workshops and events. You can also schedule a career advising appointment to explore your career options. Broaden your internship and job search by focusing on the skills and qualifications the companies and organizations are looking for, rather than the specific job titles.
You should also network with your peers and professors in the department - you would be surprised at the great insights you may gain from these relationships.
