Course Overview

Why Choose Medical Humanities?

If you plan to pursue a career in the medical field, Elmira’s Medical Humanities minor will round out your education and make you a better candidate for employment or graduate studies. In addition, you’ll go beyond the medical sciences and explore how a person’s health is influenced by their personal and cultural experiences.

What Medical Humanities Will Teach You

You’ll learn how wellness is intricately connected with identity, community, spirituality, ethics, language, culture, technology, the arts, and history through an interdisciplinary approach. You’ll develop an understanding in focus areas such as how human identity and experience shape illness, the impact of cultural perspectives on physical and mental health, concepts and representations of the human body, the ethical and spiritual dimensions of medical knowledge and practice, and the social, historical, and political perspectives related to medicine.

Where Medical Humanities Can Take You

Knowledge of the Medical Humanities will help you become a more compassionate healthcare professional with the critical thinking skills needed to address current medical needs. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, healthcare professions are expected to grow by 13% within the next ten years. This equals the addition of around 2 million new jobs nationwide. This job growth is much faster than the bureau’s average for all other occupations.

General Eligibility

How does the world affect personal health? Our Medical Humanities coursework explores culture, technology, history, the arts, and more to help you become a more well-rounded healthcare professional.
