H3 Interdisciplinary Scholars Program

Starting in the Spring of 2025, student scholars from varied disciplines will join the H3 team, working directly with each other and collaborating faculty and staff to co-develop projects ranging from the technical (literature reviews or strategic planning tools) to the interactive (health and creative expression workshops on campus). Stay tuned to meet our first cohort of scholars and see the exciting projects they are working on.

 


Community Events

The Health Humanities Hub is proud to support and host periodic events that invite community members to learn and share about health and the human experience. By joining forces with others at the University of Arizona and beyond, we offer lectures, workshops, artistic and cultural experiences, and health and wellbeing demonstrations.

Mind and body cannot be separated except verbally; they are two poles of the one reality of our existence. Dr. Andrew Weil, a world-renowned leader and pioneer in the field of integrative medicine, discusses how Integrative Medicine views each patient as a whole person: mind and spirit as well as body.
