The Medical Humanities and Health Studies Programs prepare undergraduates to understand the broader role and determinants of health and medicine in today’s world. Humanities courses raise questions of how human beings deal with health, medical intervention, illness and death. Social science courses provide insight into the social, economic and cultural contexts of health, illness and health care. Students benefit from the wealth of faculty in Liberal Arts and across the IUPUI campus who have strong teaching and research interests in the area of health care.

Help us congratulate Priya Dave, Medical Humanities graduating senior, winner of the Liberal Arts Medal of Academic Distinction, the Plater Medallion, and the Top IUPUI Student of the Year award. Way to go, Priya!
