UISC 110 - Medical Humanities

3 credit(s)
In this course, students think critically about how the disciplines that comprise the humanities deepen their knowledge of medicine and healthcare practices. By engaging in points of view informed by fields such as history, philosophy, media studies, literature, ethnic and gender studies, jurisprudence, and art history, students will analyze the perspectives of clinicians, caregivers, and patients. The course pays special attention to how these diverse areas examine medical ethics cases like those used throughout professional medical and health education, culminating in the collaborative creation and presentation of such cases at the end of the semester.
