The health humanities certificate at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire integrates compassion and humanities into health science and research to improve, deepen and strengthen experiences for health care providers and their patients. One of only a few programs like it in Wisconsin, the growing program offers an interdisciplinary approach to studying health, helping you to become patient-centered, ethically intelligent, skilled in communication and competent with diverse populations. These skills are helpful for students applying to health professional schools or those interested in pursuing careers in health care leadership, government, civil engagement and administration in the public and private sectors. Curriculum throughout the program explores a variety of topics including human values; bioethics; history of medicine; ethics of health care; illness and health care practices; human dignity and health inequities. The 15-credit certificate is rooted in experiential learning, requiring students to participate in at least one internship, research project, immersion experience or service-learning experience. Upon completion of the program, youll have a deeper understanding of illness, suffering, healing, aging and dying as human experiences and be well prepared to provide more empathetic and humane health care to all.
