The Interdisciplinary Health, Medicine, and Society Major focuses on the social scientific, humanistic, and applied community-engaged dimensions of health and medical care to develop an understanding of how health, illness, and medical care impact individuals, families, culture, and societies. The joint major is intended to serve students who wish to be involved in some aspect of the healthcare industry, health policy, or public health and also students who are interested in communications, the pharmaceutical industry, law, business, agency work, and other careers where understanding health care is essential.
