Humanities in Health and Medicine,BBiomedSc

About the course In order to be effective, healthcare professionals need to understand not only the workings of the body from a scientific perspective, but also know how people and societies function, and the art and science of caring for people. A caring health professional is assisted by interpretive ability and insight, applies ethical sensitivity and has an awareness of their own values and attitudes. This major proposes to balance the educational experience for students where arts and humanities subjects might make a contribution to their preparedness for a cycle two degree in the health professions. Any students already planning a career in medicine, dentistry or as a health professional, in healthcare policy or law, psychology, public/global health, social work, patient advocacy or health journalism will benefit from completing this major. This major is coordinated by the Division of Health Professions Education in the School of Allied Health and is a collaboration with the Medical School.
