This certificate incorporates rich multidisciplinary perspectives on questions of health, illness, medicine, and disability. Health Humanities, a growing field at the intersection of humanistic scholarship and health professions, is a natural fit for F&M’s strength across the liberal arts and our students’ interest in health professions-and in broader questions of health, including mental health and public health. The certificate includes three key perspectives: historical, ethical, and literary/cultural.
