Our mission

We have received a number of emails about courses counting for medical humanities.  In lieu of a website, let me provide our mission here:

To count for the Medical Humanities minor, courses should address a human dimension of clinical medicine, public health, translational research, or medical technology. This includes
• human expression about medicine and health, including art, literature, music, art history etc
• study of the human factors affecting medical practice, including history, sociology, psychology, anthropology, classics, and religion, and
• analyses of debates surrounding medicine and health research, including philosophy, economics, and law.

If you feel that a course fulfills these requirements, feel free to email Dr. Rogers at rogerskb@cofc.edu
