Overview

UTSA’s Medical Humanities Program

The Medical Humanities program of The University of Texas at San Antonio draws upon the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities and arts to prepare you for careers in medicine and health. Working within a competency-based framework, this program seeks to interpret the human factors that relate to illness and wellness. You’ll cover a broad range of health and humanity topics like the biology of aging, the psychology of health, social context of drug use, health care systems, medical sociology and more.

The Medical Humanities degree offers two concentrations: Pre-Medicine, which meets the typical application requirements for American medical and dental schools, and the Health Careers concentration, which will prepare you for a wide variety of health-related occupations. Concentrations are declared after you’ve been admitted and have met with your academic advisor.
