Medical Humanities Certificate
The undergraduate certificate in Medical Humanities offers OSU students a multi-disciplinary integrated program to study health, medicine, and the healing professions. The certificate relies on key courses in medical anthropology, literature and medicine, medical history, and biomedical ethics for its core content foundations. Courses from additional different disciplines—biology; ethnic studies; human development; kinesiology; philosophy; psychology; public health; religious studies; sociology; and women, gender, and sexuality studies—can fulfill complementary elective courses. The certificate program emphasizes skills in professional identity, reflective writing, cultural competency, and diversity as a complement to the scientific features of the healing professions. The certificate prepares students to empathize with the sufferings of others, reflect critically on medical knowledge and discourse, create new understandings of the medical experience, and confront moral, psychological, and ethical dilemmas.
