The Health, Medicine and Society program offers a minor composed of courses with social science and humanities perspectives on health and illness. An interdisciplinary group of faculty created HMS to serve students who wish to contribute to any of the wide variety of health care professions, including administration, care-giving, policy, and research in multiple fields. In addition to a range of courses, the program hosts speakers and events designed to deepen the university and local communities’ understanding of U.S. and global health issues.
