ETW - Catholicism Hlthcare Hum

Catalog description

This course will explore the experiences of both patient and healthcare provider and the relationship between the two. The healthcare encounter (e.g. doctor-patient, nurse-patient) is privileged, unique and multidimensional. The groundwork will be set by study of the human condition and the structure of the healthcare delivery system; students will examine how humans live and how they die revealed by a consideration of disease, socioeconomics, psychology and religion. Our study will be advanced using the tools of art, literature, science and theology.
