Program description
The demand for healthcare workers and services is expected to be at an all-time high in the near and long term. Furthermore, the interpersonal and intercultural intelligences that are essential to meaningful and successful patient partnerships—which best support disease prevention and care—will become even more crucial in the context of precision medicine, automation, and data generation and analysis that accompany the Fourth Industrial Revolution's predicted integration of humans and machines. The BA in Applied Humanities with a focus in Medicine will help you cultivate these intelligences, prepare you for this future, and teach you how to take care of people and communities globally.
