The Medical Humanities minor equips students to take on the big questions such as: What does it mean to suffer? How should we care for the sick? What is the role of technology in caring for people? How have ideas about disease changed over time? How are diseases understood in different cultures? The minor also cultivates self-awareness in the sense of both the ability to empathize with other people while maintaining the clarity of our own limitations that comes with cultural humility.
