COURSE OBJECTIVES:

This course explores health, disease and the art and science of healing through three distinct perspectives, that of literature, history and philosophy (biomedical ethics) presenting medicine and health care in the broader cultural context.  As an interdisciplinary course, it is designed to teach students different humanistic elements of medicine, encouraging intellectual depth and breadth in their understanding of the impact of disease, and the roles of medical research, practice and health care in the larger communities and cultures, both past and present, thereby encouraging adaptability in their personal and professional health care decision making.  The awareness and discussion of ethical issues and human values raised in research, practice and consumption of health care is also an essential part of understanding health, disease and healing in human cultural contexts.  As such, the course supports the following IUPUI Principles of Undergraduate Learning http://www.iupui.edu/academic/undergrad_principles.html): Intellectual depth, breadth and adaptiveness; Values and ethics.
