Graduate Certificate in Medical Humanities in Madison United States | Drew University

Drew University's low-residency Medical & Health Humanities program aims to humanize healthcare by promoting ethical practices and institutions. Established nearly 30 years ago, our pioneering certificate, master's, and doctoral programs remain at the forefront, serving diverse care environments locally, nationally, and globally. These programs address the increasing demand for specialized education in health humanities, care ethics, health policy, contemplative care, and narrative medicine. With its interdisciplinary approach, the program examines how humans exist within intricate moral, environmental, and socio-political systems that influence health outcomes.

By blending scholarly research with practical application, the curriculum equips graduates for various roles across healthcare systems and community organizations. Alumni pursue careers as clinical ethicists, public health advisors, policy developers, humanities researchers, healthcare administrators, wellness program directors, or educators in medical and social service fields.
