Medical Humanities
Baylor's medical humanities program is designed to advance a deeper understanding of medicine by intertwining the study of arts, humanities and clinical sciences. It provides an interdisciplinary and interprofessional approach to investigating and understanding the profound effects of illness and disease on patients, health professionals and the social worlds in which they live and work.
Science and Health Living & Learning Center
The Science and Health Living & Learning Center at Hallie Earle Hall is a place where Baylor students can engage in learning outside of the classroom in a professionally focused community. Students with a common interest in pursuing a career in medicine are able to collaborate with each other as well as science faculty and medical researchers.
