健康 & 医学研究
The interdisciplinary health and medical studies minor provides students the understanding needed to approach challenges in modern healthcare.
概述
With the large number of current and prospective students interested in health and medicine, this minor will provide a structure for how STEM fields intersect with 社会科学 and the humanities. 学生, specifically students interested in healthcare, need to understand that the challenges in healthcare and society are complex problems that require an interdisciplinary approach. The minor will pair well with majors both in and outside of Division III (including Business, Politics and Foreign Languages) and will allow students to develop and demonstrate an understanding of health and medicine in the global community.
Throughout the course of this minor students will learn to:
- Describe how the sciences, 社会科学 和人文 integrate with medical content.
- Connect science, social studies, 和人文 to the work of healthcare professionals.
- Integrate the ways of knowing (science, 社会科学, 和人文) to understand the equity issues in the healthcare system, especially related to the variety of socioeconomic, 社会位置, and racial demographics present in the healthcare system.
- Critique forms of systemic oppression and marginalization based on difference and identify how these structures enable and constrain agency and inform visions of equity and justice.
课程
This minor will give students the opportunity to take courses across all three divisions. The foundational level courses in biology, 化学, 经典, 哲学, 心理学, and sociology provide a framework for medical studies. 在高级课程中, students will enhance their understanding in the sciences, 社会科学, 和人文. The upper level seminar course for the minor will focus on examining the healthcare system and will engage students in learning about the diverse experiences of people from a variety of identity groups. 学生 will also engage with their own social position within the healthcare system and consider how it influences their opinions and bias related to patient care.
