Program Perspective: Healthcare & Medical Humanities

“I am passionate about the field of genetic counseling because I want to use my knowledge to help my patients understand their diagnoses and provide them with the empathetic healthcare they deserve. I am a biology major, and dual minor in healthcare & medical humanities and chemistry. The healthcare medical humanities program at Wilson is outstanding. This program goes beyond the science and teaches critical skills such as death literacy, active listening, as well as communicative techniques that will help me in my future career. The small class sizes have allowed me to form meaningful connections with my professors, who have been very encouraging and helpful while learning about these topics. I have acquired skills in the  healthcare & medical humanities program that can take years of field experience to obtain. I’ll take those skills with me to graduate school, and my future career.”
