IPE-820 Philosophy of Health and Wellness

The purpose of this advanced course on a Christian perspective of the medical humanities is to reintroduce the ancient ideal of practical reasoning, self-knowledge, and action in the care of the sick and the marginalized, with a special emphasis on people with disabilities. The early church never lost sight of caring for the indigent poor in their affliction. Students will gain an increased perspective and understanding of the healthcare professional/patient relationship, the art of listening, visual observation, and ethical principles in the context of a Christian worldview.
