Division of Medical Humanities and Bioethics
The Division of Medical Humanities and Bioethics is an interdisciplinary group drawn from the healthcare specialties and the humanities. Its application of humanities (history, literature, philosophy, visual arts, music, theatre, studies in culture, religion, disabilities and gender) and bioethics (philosophy, law and clinical ethics) to the practice of medicine and the care of patients is a part of the University of Rochester's traditional consideration of the social and ethical contexts of medicine.
“The spirit of Humanities is the greatest single gift in education.”
William Osler,The Old Humanities and the New Science, 1919.
