As a nursing student, I’m particularly drawn to the focus on digital storytelling and the ethical implications of technology in healthcare discussed in HUM 230. The “Medical humanities and health research in the St. Louis region” session resonates deeply, as it connects digital tools to improving patient care and understanding historical health practices. The lab on mapping and spatial analysis with Leaflet intrigues me because it seems like a practical way to explore healthcare disparities geographically, a topic I’m passionate about. This course seems like a fascinating intersection of humanities, technology, and healthcare, and I’m excited to see how these skills can enhance my nursing practice and advocacy efforts.
