The Saint Michael’s College minor in Health Equity provides a unique opportunity for students to examine the challenge of unjust distribution of health care and resources for living healthy lives, both globally and locally. Students in this minor will develop skills to tackle topics such as race-based inequality in health outcomes; linkages between poverty and disease; and the intersecting ways that multiple forms of discrimination provide barriers to health care access.
