211. Introduction to Health Care, I. (4). (HU).
This course is for undergraduates with an interest in health
care and the health sciences. It introduces students to the fundamental
concepts behind understandings of health and the theory and practice
of health care. Selected literature will raise questions such
as: What is health? What is illness? What is a healer? What is
health care? Why support or practice health care? Possible answers
will be drawn from religious, philosophical, literary, psychological, and historical perspectives. Even more fundamental assumptions
underlying health care will be exposed and explored, such as our
ideas about personhood, human welfare, death, and the "life
force." Because technology has played such a large role in
shaping and executing ideas about health care, we will also survey the history of medical technology and address questions regarding
its value. Use will be made of guest lecturers, panel discussions, films, and other alternative modes of presentation. Assignments
will be divided between formal tests and writing assignments.
The formal tests (midterm and final) will cover the course content:
readings, lectures, and discussions. The writing assignments will
include two research projects and weekly discussion notes. (Collins)
