Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care and Bioethics

Not just for healthcare professionals, this program serves students from a wide range of disciplines and professional backgrounds, building on a commitment to medical humanism and ethics that has defined education for Stony Brook students for more than three decades.

The 30-credit Master of Arts program can be completed in as little as one year.

“ The MA program opened my eyes to new avenues to connect to our patients with respect and compassion. It inspired me to pilot a program for Arts in Medicine, which has made my sta more receptive to the nonmedical needs of their patients.”

— Linda Bily, MA Program Graduate
