Why I Chose Medical Humanities

Ruth Morgan (SOH’27)

I am from Black Rock, Connecticut, majoring in Healthcare Management and Policy and minoring in Medical Humanities. I am very interested in health system operations, health equity, and bioethics. I chose the Medical Humanities minor because it brings together my interests in healthcare, history, ethics, and culture while also centering perspectives that are often left out of traditional biomedical discussions. I am currently very excited about my Medical Anthropology course, where we aim to examine medical systems from a cross-cultural perspective.
