Elms College stands out as one of the few colleges or universities in New England that offers a master’s degree program that combines the study of Bioethics with Medical Humanities.  

What is Bioethics and Medical Humanities?

Bioethics is the application of ethics and morality to the administration of healthcare and biomedical sciences. Medical Humanities takes lessons learned through the study of the humanities – philosophy, religion, history, literature, language, and art, – and applies them to the practice of medicine. 

The degree program gives students the skills to understand ethical issues surrounding the delivery of treatment and quality of life, and the ability to see patients as more than just a list of specific symptoms. The Master of Arts degree in Bioethics and Medical Humanities is valuable for healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of patients, but also healthcare managers and administrators, public health and policy professionals, patient advocates, lawyers, and healthcare journalists.
