Health Humanities Concentration
|
|
Billie Tadros, Program Director
The Health Humanities Concentration emphasizes the integral role played historically and presently by the humanities in shaping and transforming healthcare, health, and well-being. It aims not only to provide a comprehensive humanistic education to the students enrolled in the programs for the health professions, but also to develop new pedagogical practices informed by interdisciplinarity, experiential and community-based learning, and diversity and intercultural competence.
All students who declare the concentration will apply 18 credits to it. In addition, students must complete ten hours of service, community-based, and/or experiential learning. (Students can complete these hours either by taking elective courses toward the concentration that include community-based learning or experiential learning, or by completing the requirement independently. Students who opt to complete the requirement independently should speak with the program director for approval and then submit a reflection journal on their hours following completion and prior to graduation.) All students will submit a final portfolio representing their achievement of the Health Humanities Concentration program learning outcomes.
