A Holistic Approach to Healthcare

In today’s complex and interconnected world, the demand for scientific researchers and medical professionals is not limited to technical expertise; it extends to ethical awareness and psychological understanding. This encompasses doctors, nurses, and specialized researchers who are not only proficient in their fields but also attuned to global issues and committed to their professional responsibility as guardians of humanity and the planet.

The minor in medical humanities fosters a holistic approach to healthcare, integrating the disciplines of humanities (literature, philosophy, ethics, history, and religion), social sciences (anthropology, cultural studies, psychology, and sociology), and the arts (literature, film, and visual arts) into the realm of life science education and practice. By embracing this interdisciplinary approach, students cultivate a deeper understanding of the human experience, enabling them to provide compassionate, patient-centered care and address the ethical dilemmas that arise in modern healthcare settings.

The program emphasizes developing critical and ethical thinking skills, preparing graduates to transform their profession and remain engaged lifelong learners. Students cultivate global responsibility by collaboratively executing projects that connect their professional skills with societal and global needs
