Earn a Helping and Healing Degree That Leads to Impact
Imagine a healthcare system where practitioners in both clinical and non-clinical roles prioritize deeply understanding the people they serve, extending their expertise beyond treating illness to embrace the emotional, ethical, and cultural elements of well-being.
To build authentic connections and diverse perspectives in healthcare, we must interact with people as whole human beings. That means cultivating empathy through close attention, perception, and observation, whether you work in direct patient care, public health, patient advocacy, or any role that requires heightened emotional and cultural sensitivity.
Rooted in the concept of narrative medicine — the practice of integrating patients’ stories and experiences into their care — the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Healthcare and Medical Humanities (HMH) from Wilson College Online transcends the traditional confines of medical science education. Our program imparts applicable, empathy-based skills so you’re prepared to be a keen observer, active listener, skilled interpreter of story, and thoughtful advocate who sees every patient as a whole person.
