Healthcare and Medical Humanities Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of their program curricula, students who complete a major in Healthcare and Medical Humanities will be able to:

  • demonstrate an ability, orally and in writing, to understand, explain, and think critically and ethically about health, healthcare, illness, and disability within their social and global contexts,
  • recognize and demonstrate knowledge of cultural, ethical and other determinants (race, class, gender, age, identity, belief, environment, etc.) at play in the relationship between practitioner and patient as well as economic and social factors that contribute to health inequities,
  • understand, explain, and analyze, through the study and close reading of texts, how attention to language and the elements of narrative contribute to communicative competence critical to empathic administration of clinical care, and
  • understand and demonstrate effective communication skills as well as a willingness and ability to consider and assume multiple perspectives through creative, artistic, and embodied experiential learning, acknowledging and appreciating differences, recognizing others (patients, clients, people) as complex beings with individual beliefs, cultures, identities, and stories, whose values may be in conflict with their own.
