From medieval medical tools and methodologies to modern analyses of health care access for women and marginalized groups, our scholars bring context and new connections to a topic that is both contentious yet necessary to daily life and humanity's existence.

The Critical Medical Humanities Program at Aggie Square in Sacramento offers undergraduates an immersive, cohesive learning experience looking at medical issues from multiple cultural and ethical perspectives, giving students a more well-rounded baseline to work from. Taking place across just one quarter, the program meets the requirements for the medical humanities minor. The first official cohort and one of the program's creators discuss the importance of humanities in health care.
