The Health Care Issues minor prepares students for careers in the health care industry. The minor consists of interdisciplinary coursework in anthropology, ethics, political science, psychology, sociology and integrative health sciences. The minor introduces students to the changing American health care system, sociological issues related to health, illness and the medical institution, ethical issues in medicine and more. The program is flexible enough to be shaped to a student's particular health care interests, yet requires an interdisciplinary selection of courses to provide the well-rounded framework necessary to work in a health care environment. Stetson students who choose the Health Care Issues minor will become familiar with various issues facing health care professionals and the kinds of employment available within the health care profession, from medical practices to insurance companies and agencies responsible for public policy such as Medicare and Medicaid.
