The medical humanities minor at Fontbonne University is an excellent way for nursing graduates to distinguish themselves from other job candidates. Courses in the humanities minor apply to the general education requirements for Fontbonne University, so students can pursue this minor in addition to the nursing major by completing only one additional course.
Experts suggest that incorporating medical humanities training in nursing education enhances professionalism, empathy, communication, ethical reasoning, teamwork, and critical thinking. In addition, educating nurses in medical humanities is an effective way to strengthen the resilience of clinicians, which can reduce the high burnout rate experienced by health care providers.
